  Thanks;  I will stay with 8.9.x for now.

  Installed the latest ppm-profile, but got this error message:

    >  ppmprofile --verbose save

      c:\opt\perl\site\bin\ppmprofile.pl save is not supported for PPM4 yet at c:\opt\perl\s
ite\bin\ppmprofile.pl line 81.

  My directory structure on the old and new PC is the same.  I
  suppose things will work if I copy over the site directory; but
  will ppm on the new PC new about the installed modules?
