PPM Firewall problems

Question:

When I try to install a ppm package I get this error:

Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...failed 500
Can't connect to ppm4.activestate.com:80 (connect: Unknown error)

Answer:

It looks like your local network firewall or Proxy is preventing you from connecting with our ppm servers. Instructions on how to configure Proxy authentication are available here:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.htm...

Alternatively, you can download zip packages for the modules you need from:

http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/

- first unzip the package to a temporary directory
- next, install the package by specifying the ppd file directly:

ppm install c:\tmp\module-name.ppd

Please note that some modules have dependencies and may fail to install because of this. It would be helpful to, on an internet-connected machine, use ppm's 'tree' command to see what dependencies there are:

ppm> tree Date-Calc
====================
Date-Calc 5.3
\__Bit-Vector 0.0
====================
