ActivePerl ppm error "database disk image is malformed"

Question

After an unexpected interrupt any ppm command gives me this error:

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

How can I fix ppm?

Answer 1

Open:

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

Delete everything.

Run ppm again and it'll rebuild.
