Tomasz, thanks for replying.

On the logfile from one of the hosts, I have this:

2010-03-31 12:51:42, DEBUG   : Executing command: cmd /c
c:\perl\bin\ppm install %SOFTWARE%\perl\ppm\Win32-Process-Info.ppd
2010-03-31 12:52:04, ERROR   : Could not process (install) package
'PPM-Win32::Process::Info' (ppm-win32-process-info):|Exit code
returned non-successful value (1) on command 'cmd /c c:\perl\bin\ppm
install %SOFTWARE%\perl\ppm\Win32-Process-Info.ppd'.

Unfortunately, I can't find further details about whether I'm using a
bad syntax for ppm or else something's wrong with the arguments (the
module's package is in the same directory as the .ppd file).

Is it possibe to set some kind of debug flag to deepen the analysis?

Thanks again,
Ari Constancio
