The direction should have been obvious, investigate the failure. This isn't the first time cpan has told you about this particular failure. You don't seem to want to investigate problems, or take advice given regarding module installation (your threads: PAR::Packer for 64-bit machine and the recent DBD::Sybase trilogy installing DBD::Sybase,connect string for sybase, installing DBD::Sybase). You go on to tell us that "I had previously tried to install Win32::Exe both through ppm and CPAN with no success". without any details, contraty to the advice linked to each time you post How do I post a question effectively? Update: fixed typo.	[reply]

However cpan is configured on your system there is not much here to go on, a manual install may be different. Here is the result of `cpan PAR::Packer` on my one of my Windows systems: Read more... (12 kB) I recently outlined part of the reason why I gave up on ActiveState Perl. In short, if you're developing Perl on Microsoft Windows make life easy for yourself and use Strawberry Perl. You won't regret it. You'll note that the same advice comes from many other people in their responses to several of your module installation threads.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What steps have you taken to analyze the failure after it was pointed out to you?	[reply]
Re^4: PAR::Packer installation by fionbarr (Friar) on Jul 31, 2014 at 19:43 UTC
I had previously tried to install Win32::Exe both through ppm and CPAN with no success.	[reply]
Re^5: PAR::Packer installation by Corion (Patriarch) on Jul 31, 2014 at 19:53 UTC
I would hazard the guess that if PAR::Packer lists Win32::Exe as a prerequisite, PAR::Packer will not work unless you successfully install Win32::Exe. So maybe your question should not be about installing PAR::Packer until you have successfully installed Win32::Exe? Would this thread be any different if it were not about PAR::Packer but Win32::Exe? Maybe you want to show the error output that leads to installation of Win32::Exe failing?	[reply]

If you're having problems installing Win32::Exe on Activestate via PPM, I would postulate that your install is broken. Weather this is the fault of ActiveState or something on your machine is still to be determined. Also, 64B Activestate perl is... well, last time I messed with it "goofy" would be a generous description. Getting the compiler and such to work with it was beyond my patience to sort out. I've resigned to use 32B ActiveState until I make the jump to 5.20, at which point I'll probably switch to Strawberry. 32B ActiveState perl has given me no trouble generating packaged executeables once I sorted out installing Par::Packer, which I still think required some hoop-jumping as I recall. This was a couple of years ago though, as I updated to 5.16 shortly after it came out, and haven't moved since. I say this as someone who has used ActiveState for the past 5 years or so. While I freely admit that more may have considerably more time with it, I like to think I'm not speaking from a place of ignorance.	[reply]
