Oleg said...: Same issue as already John Mathew faced.
I tried to copy the PadWalker.pm file one stage upper - to /lib. But still the same issue:
C:\Perl\lib>ppm install PadWalker
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...failed 500 Can't connect t
o ppm4.activestate.com:80
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides PadWalker

Obviously, I have to say it should look for the local file, anyhow.

But how?; June 1, 2016 at 1:51 AM
Anonymous said...: For e.g.

C:\Perl64\lib\PadWalker-2.0>

you have to do:

C:\Perl64\lib\PadWalker-2.0>PPM install PadWalker-2.0

But then it is still not recognized in Eclipse for some reason...; October 5, 2016 at 11:15 PM
