in reply to Trouble installing modules for ActiveState Perl on a Windows server machine

ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides Win32-Console

This probably indicates that they don't provide a PPM package of Win32::Console because that module shipped with the ActivePerl that's installed on your server.
I wonder what became of it ?

You could try:
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Win32-Console.ppd
but that repo will be closing down some time in the next 12 months.
I don't know if it's still reachable, and I can't reach websites over "http" to find out.

UPDATE: I originally specified the wrong perl version in the next line.
Alternatively you could download and unpack Strawberry Perl's 5.26.x and copy:
Strawberry's perl/vendor/lib/Win32/Console.pm to C:/Perl64/site/lib/Win32/Console.pm
and copy:
Strawberry's perl/vendor/lib/auto/Win32/Console/Console.xs.dll to C:/Perl64/site/lib/auto/Win32/Console/Console.xs.dll

If the "Console.xs.dll" filename gives you any trouble just copy it to "Console.dll" in the same location.

Make sure you choose the right Strawberry Perl to download.
UPDATE: I originally specified the wrong perl version in the next line.
It needs to be perl-5.26.x, and it needs to be the same architecture (32-bit/64-bit build) as your Active Perl (which I'm guessing is a 64-bit build).

Cheers,
Rob
