I say that the installation of not the ppm command but PPM package

Right. this must be my problem.

C:\namazu\pltests>ppm install PPM

... There is will being not to have directed it to install PPM. 

Install necessary PPM Package for Namazu. 
(It is being written in It is "5. Installation of PPM". )

OK, i'll check that again.  Thank you for your patience.  I think
we must sort out the Perl issue below, first, because the PPM
depends on Perl being sensible..

C:\namazu\pltests>perl --version

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 50 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

This is certainly ActivePerl 5.8.8 Build 820. 
But,...

Cygwin ? why

Does perl -V look at what is installed?  Or does it just talk about
its own configuration?  If it looks around to see what is there, then
I have Cygwin and Mingw on this machine. So it may be finding those
tools and telling us about them.

Why are you compiled by gcc?

I don't know.  In Unix we have 'which' to say where a command is
found.  I don't know what there is for Windows.  [Usually I find the
Windows documentation insufficient or nonexistent. I've been using
Unix since 1982. That it why I have Cygwin and Mingw installed.  Also
in Cygwin I get a window that handles ANSI colour for highlighting things.
The CMD window does not, even if MSDOS V5 did. :-(] 
That way I could see which perl is being found.

In the same way that namazu insists that it be on the %PATH%, so does
cygwin. I don't know a good way to turn one off while using the other
(in another window).  


Has not ActivePerl mixed with Perl of cygwin?

I don't know how the two could be confused by the same CMD shell.

This is truly bizarre.  Forcing it to pick the Activestate binary
gives:-

I do not think that ActivePerl operates normally. 
The influence of Perl of cygwin might have not to be received. 

Maybe I should give up and try to build namazu using only cygwin?

Do you have other users using Cygwin and Mingw, with a Windows
Native namazu?  If you do, then there is some value in finding out
what is happening.  If you do not then before I attempt a build
using only Cygwin, I should see what happens if I re-install
ActivePerl, even if it is not newer.

You have given me so much help that I should use this experience to
help your users, and thereby help you.

        Thank you
        Hugh
