Re: PPM can't access ppm4.log and perltoc.html

Many thanks Trent & Jan for the suggestions.

I both renamed the ppm4.log file and ran sudo ppm from the Terminal and then
reinstalled the module I'd problems with and this time there were no error
messages in the PPM console, and there were entries in the ppm4.log.

There doesn't seem to be any change though in perltoc.html as there's still
no entry for the new module but I hadn't renamed that file. I'll have to try
that to do that now but as I'm just going away for a few days it'll have to
wait until I return.

Regards
Eric R

  You should be able to just delete these files (or maybe rename, to be on
  the safe side).  When you then install another package using PPM these
  files should get re-created with the proper ownership.
