#32 PPM Install of XML-DOM Fails on Activestate Perl 5.6

[Roger]

No PPD exists for XML-DOM when choosing the PPM
install (my system is Win32, Activestate perl using
standard repository). This seems rather fundamental
and whilst I note your earlier comments about needing
to concentrate on functionality rather than installation - if
we can't install it then we can't give any feedback!!

I feel saying it's a problem for the XML::DOM authors is
a bit of a cop-out if your project relies on it.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Roger,

Unfortunately this in unlikely to be fixed soon. You may
like to have a look at this page:
<http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/5.8/>
which has an ordering service for PPM Modules.

I agree that the issue needs to be addressed but we are flat
out chasing the bug fixes to get Guido working again. I am
accumulating a list of things that need to be looked at for
the next release of Guido and rationalisisng the XML
management is on the list.

Sorry I can't be of any real help.
