Re: problem with packages for custom build of activeperl 5.28.1by syphilis (Archbishop) |

I recently downloaded and installed activeperl 5.28.1 I just grabbed the basic one (in the zip file) as I was interested to see whether they were building perl with -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO. (They weren't.) It was pretty much useless. I thought maybe I needed to run Installer.bat, but it failed because perl didn't have a requisite module installed. I tried using cpan to install the missing module, but cpan fails early on with a "Free to wrong pool" error. I tried installing the module using ppm, but ppm doesn't exist. This one really amuses me: WRT my aims and the uses I have for perl, this distro is rubbish .... but maybe there's some documentation somewhere that explains how to turn it into something that I would deem useful. Even if it can moulded into something reasonable, it's still not going to be any better than Strawberry. Cheers, Rob
