Imager package (perl 5.22.1 / 64) seems "uncomplete"

February 23, 2016, 11:56 am

Good evening,

Having installed Imager:: package I tried to obtain information about some TIFF files (their DPI tag).

ActiveState Imager:: returns an error stating that it does not handle TIFF, JPEG and others, but only BMP, raw,...

On CPAN description for Imager it is specifically stated that Imager does handle these formats.

Is there any complementary ActiveState module to Imager that I should install to access these formats?

If not, is there another ActiveState image module that can provide such kind of functions / properties for image formats such as TIFF, JPEG and PNG (as ppm cannot find Image::Magick -- the other major image manipulation module in Perl -- either on ActiveState repository)?

TIA for your help,

GM.

Hi together,

i really need help with this: I installed perl and now i want to install a couple of modules with PPM. But if i try installing modules i get this error:

"ppm install MinGW" (one command im using for example)

"ppm install failed: DBD::SQLite::db selectrow_array failed: file is encrypted or is not in a database"

Im searching for solutions for this problems since hours but i found nothing yet. Even if i type only PPM in the command shell it appears the same error.

Could someone help me with that problem? I would appreciate this a lot.

Regards, Leo

Dancer2 via PPM

Would love to install and use Dancer2 via PPM, however according to the build logs, the build times out after 7mins. ActiveState can you kindly review and re mediate? This is a large module, it's going to take longer to run all the tests, that's ok. It's this kind of stuff that honestly gives me more reason to move to Strawberry Perl. If you are going to have a package manager then support the packages.

I have just installed ActivePerl 5.22.1.2201-MSWin32-x64-299574 and I don't found Spreadsheet-Parse XLSX, which was available at some previoous versions.

I tried to install using cpanp and failed installing Crypt::Mode:CBC, wich isn't in ppm.

Is there a version of Spreadsheet-Parse XLSX available for ActivePerl 5.22.1 anywhere?

Thanks,

I am having problems running PPM on my corporate laptop after installing the 64bit version of perl - Version 5.24.0.

I get the following error when I run "ppm install Tk" from an admin command prompt:

H:\>ppm install Tk
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...failed 500 Can't connect to ppm4.activestate.com:80

I am running Fiddler in, and never see any requests go out to that repository. I have tried to set the environment variable http_proxy to "http://127.0.0.1:8888" and also tried pointing it to our proxy server address directly, to no avail.

I can browse to the repository ("http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x64/5.24/2400/" via my web browser just fin.

Here is the contents of the log:

MIssing package in new versions (Bot-BasicBot)

As per this (http://code.activestate.com/ppm/Bot-BasicBot/) which is not up to date to 5.24, but it shows Bot-BasicBot (IRC bot framework) is dropped from 5.22 (and not showing up for me in 5.24). I'd use 5.20, but the community version is no longer downloadable. The log from 5.22 build shows, to my amateur eyes, the build was ok, but the test run over time and the job was aborted? Are there any options to download 5.20 again, or otherwise get Bot-BasicBot installed?

Hi all,

I cannot install MinGW / dmake right now using Perl 5.24. I am using the command:

ppm install MinGW

The error in the cmd window shows:

Downloading MinGW-4.6.3...not found
ppm install failed: 404 Not Found

This URL below is 404 not found (taken from the ppm log after failure to install):
http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x64/5.24/2400/-/--/MINGW/MinGW-4.6.3...

The folder "-" is missing from the site. It is present in previous versions of the PERL folders (5.22).

Perhaps this folder has been deleted by accident? Or am I making a mistake?

Cheers in advance for your help,
Simon.

How can I get the connection to activestate.com to work? Is there another manual way to copy and install the needed files?

The system is locked down from a IE 11 - enhanced security configuration is enabled. I went into the trusted sites and added http://*.activestate.com and http://ppm4.activestate.com but it still fails. Is there any else I should try?

I am just an end user and could use your help. Thanks in advance.

Net::SSH::Perl and the @INC path

January 4, 2017, 11:44 am

Hi,

Been out of Perl for a little while now, change of job so I need to pick it back up. I have a few old Net::Telnet scripts that I'm converting over to SSH and need the Net::SSH::Perl module.

I can't get it through PPM but I can through CPAN, so using the built in cpan script I upgrade CPAN and pull down all the dependencies for Net::SSH::Perl and the CPAN module itself.

The problem I am seeing is one of PATH for the Include function - @INC is aligned with PPM installs and the cpan module now installs to a totally different PATH that is not multi module aware.

Net::SSH::Perl is in C:\Perl64\cpan\build\Net-SSH-Perl-2.01-FG1pJs\lib - use the -I to set path and it comes up with an Include error for the dependent Crypt::PRNG module which CPAN put in C:\Perl64\cpan\build\CryptX-0.044-DGt4Jb\lib

This is a new ActiveState 5.24 install on 64bit Win7

Sorry for the newbie-ish PATH question ... any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks - Mike

Mail::Sender

Hi,

I'm the current maintainer for Mail::Sender https://metacpan.org/pod/Mail::Sender

I'd like to ask that the current version on PPM be updated to match the current, deprecated version of Mail::Sender out on the CPAN. The release currently in PPM is an older release that contains a bug that ActiveState users have to patch.

Ideally, nobody should be using Mail::Sender at this point in time as Email::Sender (and Email::Stuffer) exist to make your life easier. However, I'd prefer to update the PPM version of Mail::Sender to the one that has this particular known bug corrected.

If I'm in the wrong place for such a request, please accept my apologies as I'm not aware of best practices with regard to ActiveState.

Thanks,
Chase

PPM ERROR ppm install failed: DBD::SQLite::db selectrow_array failed:

I just installed ActivePerl-5.24.1.2402-MSWin32-x64-401627.exe on Windows 7 as administrator.
Hidden files are enabled for viewing.

I need MIME-Lite and am trying to install the module using PPM.

Command 'ppm install MIME-Lite' reports error as follows:

C:\Perl64>ppm install MIME-Lite
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository dbimage...done
ppm install failed: DBD::SQLite::db selectrow_array failed: file is encrypted or
is not a database

Located ActivePerl and I deleted folder "2402" (this was the only directory found under ActivePerl): Users\Cuser\AppData\Local\ActiveState\ActivePerl\2402

This did not help or hurt. Re-running the command - restored the files. But, I'm getting the exact same error.

Is anyone using this 5.24.1.2402 - via msi installer on win 7 and have they been able to use PPM?

Thanks!

How to use already compiled dependencies instead of compiling from source ?

March 17, 2017, 1:04 am
$

I have made some modules on cpan that depend on Gtk2 (or Wx) packages. Compiling these packages from scratch fails most of the time and so the whole build of my modules fails too.

For example
https://code.activestate.com/ppm/Gtk2-Ex-DbLinker/#0.109__MSWin32-x64__5.24

I know that Gtk2 for windows exsist as ppm modules that can be installed without compiling:

ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Cairo.ppd
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Glib.ppd
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Pango.pp
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Gtk2.ppd

Is there a way to include this information in the dependencies in the pdd file of my modules ? Can I suggest to PPM "try these install before trying to compile the Gtk2 suite" ?

Thanks
François

Just installed latest version of Perl community x64 edition on Windows 7.
ActivePerl-5.24.1.2402-MSWin32-x64-401627
The PPM takes forever synchronizing, with no feedback at all. Memory increases constantly, and is now nearing 3GB! with one CPU core at a full 100%. I just killed the process.

Update: in this version PPM works:
ActivePerl-5.22.3.2204-MSWin32-x64-401627
