It looks like the Roth repository does not have 5.10 compatible versions yet.

Problems adding Roth repository

I just installed perl 5.10.0 on a W2k3 box. When I try and add the Roth repository, it seems to see all the packages:

Downloading Roth packlist ... redirect
Downloading Roth packlist ... done
Downloading Roth GDBM_File PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-AdminMisc PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-API-Prototype PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-Daemon PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-EventLog-Message PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-Exchange PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-Message PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-ODBCBETA PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-Perms PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-Pipe PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-RASAdmin PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-Scheduler PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-Tie-Ini PPD ... done
Downloading Roth Win32-Volume PPD ... done
Synchronizing Database ... done

But ... the packages don't show up in my available list, and in the repository preferences dialog, it shows 0 for # Pkgs.

On an otherwise identical machine, only with perl 5.8.8, the Roth packages show up just fine.

I've tried removing and re-adding the repo on the affected machine, but it's always the same result. It downloads the PPD's, syncronizes the db ... but 0 packages show up. If I do the same on the 5.8.8 box, it works every time.

I'm about to uninstall 5.10.0 and drop & punt to 5.8.8, as I desperately need Win32-AdminMisc installed today ...
