ActivePerl Setup - was Invalid change ordering?

[Dirk]

Hi,

I tried this also on a new machine and had a similar problem. After a 
few remove/install cycles I got around it, but installing only xml-sax 
and xml-sax-expat with the --nodeps flag:

 install xml-sax --nodeps
 install xml-sax-expat --nodeps

If oyu try to install xml-sax-base later ppm will complain about a 
version downgrade.

On my old computer I'm still running an older PERL installation and the 
ppm3 (version 3.1) script does not complain about the two files, even if 
they are provided by both packages.

Nevertheless the whole xml-sax-expat thing is only to speed up the 
conversion. One can also use the default simple xml parser XML::Parser.
