peral problem

[houseplant2]

I am trying to follow the server set-up instructions. I get to the point where i run the 3 install commands in pearl. I get 3 errors on the install DBI command.

no valid repositories
cant connect to ppm.activestate.com (bad hostname 'ppm.activestate.com')
and then the same arror again.

anyone know why i am getting this? or more to the point how to fix it?
i tried doing a search and didnt see anything. sorry if i overlooked the answer. thanks for any help.

Activestate's PPM server may be down for a little bit , keep trying. It's usually not down very long. Or you can try adding in more repositories, a google search will probably net a few.
