in reply to Installing ActivePerl 5.8.0 Build 806 -- Error 1722 - what could be the problem?

Well, it isn't exactly the same situation but Known Issues - Windows talks about environment variables PERLLIB and PERL5LIB and temporarily removing them during the new install. I think what you've discovered (and need to tell them) is that they should add one more environment variable to the list.

    Agreed, this was almost exactly the same issue.

    I did explain to ActiveState how I solved the problem with PERL5OPT, with the hope that it might help someone else.
