[Bioperl-l] Problems with installing bioperl using PPM3

[omid at rogers.com]

Hello all,

I have ActiveState perl 5.6.1 BUILD 633 installed on a local machine running windows 2000 and I do the following:

I type "ppm3" at the command prompt
then type "search bioperl" (the repository is set to http://www.bioperl.org/DIST/).

a listing is displayed with numbers and when I attemp to issue the command "describe 20" or describe "package name" I get an error saying:

Can't call method "name" without a package or object reference at E:\Perl\bin/ppm3-bin line 4265, <$__ANONIO__> line 9.

I don't know what it means. I searched the bioperl site and looked at various installation documents but nothing seems to address this type of problem.

Any help you are able to provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Omid
