in reply to Encode fails to install on Win32 5.6

I'm using ActiveState Perl 5.6 on a Win32 platform and need to install "Encode" for some utf-8 shenanigans.

No, you need to upgrade. By all means stay on an older release if it does everything you need. But in your case it clearly doesn't and even if you could install the Encode module Perl 5.6 is not a sensible choice for working with UTF8 data. Do yourself a favour and install Strawberry Perl or the latest ActiveState build.

    Encode can not be installed on 5.6. It's tied up with 5.8 features and even the Makefile.PL requires 5.007003 at least.
