Greetings,
I am trying to install PAR 0.86 on a Win32 system running ActiveState Perl 5.6.1. I installed the PAR package and its prerequisites with no errors. During the run of perl Makefile.PL it attempted to download the binary file PAR-0.86-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.6.1.par from CPAN. However, I am behind a firewall and cannot figure out how to make CPAN.pm actually download things, but I'm not worrying about that. So I downloaded the .par file myself, unzipped it, and copied the contents of the /script directory into C:\Perl\bin as I understood the instructions to mean. But when I try to run pp -o test.exe test.pl with a very simple test program, I get
Can't locate Cwd.pm in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0x92020c) .) at C:/Pe
+rl/lib/File/Spec/Win32.pm line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/File/Spec/Win32.pm li
+ne 4.
Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/File/Spec.pm line 15.
Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/IO/File.pm line 113.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/IO/File.pm line 113.
Compilation failed in require at -e line 305.
But I know that's not the real problem because
perl -MCwd -e"print cwd"
works fine. I searched Google and found one example where someone encountered this error because he had unzipped his .par binary file directly into C:\Perl and it overwrote some of the default Perl files, but that's definitely not what I did. Any advice?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
