How to fix ActivePerl's PPM "database disk image is malformed" error?

I've recently installed ActivePerl 18 (v5.18.2) 64bits on Windows 8.1, and ppm keeps producing the same error : DBD::SQLite::db selectrow_array failed: database disk image is malformed.

Here's an exerpt from my command prompt:

ppm install Win32-Console-ANSI
ppm install failed: DBD::SQLite::db selectrow_array failed: database disk image is malformed

ppm rep
ppm rep failed: DBD::SQLite::db selectrow_array failed: database disk image is malformed

ppm
ppm gui failed: DBD::SQLite::db selectrow_array failed: database disk image is malformed
Solution

  • I had similar problem. I solved it, I cleanned AppData folder of ActivePerl. I found that under:

    C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\ActiveState\ActivePerl\

    Remove all data from that folder.

    Please try it can help you.
