Hi all,

We recently need to make changes to a Perl application compiled using PDK
4.12 build 404. We only have licence for PDK 4.12 so that's what we use. As
far as I am aware, Active Perl 5.61 build 638 is the latest version that PDK
4.12 supports.

Problem is when we use PPM to get DBI and DBD-ODBC modules we hit an
authentication required error:


ppm> install DBI
====================
Install 'DBI' version 1.48 in ActivePerl 5.6.1.638.
====================
====================
Install 'DBI' version 1.48 in ActivePerl 5.6.1.638.
====================
Error: error downloading '
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6/MS-Win32-x86-multi-thread/DBI-1.48.tar.gz':
401 Authorization Required


It seem the package directories are now protected. So we tried adding a more
recent repository but still no go:


ppm> rep add "5.10 rep"
http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.10/1006/package.xml
Repositories:
[1] ActiveState PPM2 Repository
[2] ActiveState Package Repository
[3] 5.10 rep
ppm>
ppm> install DBI
====================
Install 'DBI' version 1.48 in ActivePerl 5.6.1.638.
====================
====================
Install 'DBI' version 1.48 in ActivePerl 5.6.1.638.
====================
Error: Failed to download URL
http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.10/1006/package.xml/DBI.ppd:
404 Not Found


Any pointers in getting the right version of DBI and DBD-ODBC packages will
be much helpful.


Thanks,
Peter
