in thread problems installing PAR::Packer (pp) on Windows 7
I found a solution to this problem which worked for me. I'll share it here in case it helps anyone else.
My OS is 64-bit Windows 7. I installed 32-bit Perl v5.16.3 from ActiveState. I managed to get PAR::Packer installed in the following manner.
% cpan PAR::Packer
The MinGW compiler and dmake utility installed correctly. Several other packages installed correctly. But Win32::Exe failed to install. So, I did this ...
% ppm install Win32::Exe
That gets Win32:Exe installed correctly. Next ...
% cpan PAR::Packer
Now I can use the pp command normally. Hope this is useful.
