Hello together,

I am trying to install two CPAN modules (Log::Any and Config::Tiny) on a Windows 2012 server (Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard 6.3.9600 N/A Build 9600) machine, having Activestate Perl V 5.26.3 installed) and get the following stuff:

C:\>cpan -i Log::Any
Can't locate Win32/Console.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Win
+32::Consol
e module) (@INC contains: C:\Perl64\site\lib C:\Perl64\lib) at C:\Perl
+64\lib/Act
ivePerl/Config.pm line 400.
Compilation failed in require at C:\Perl64\lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm l
+ine 9.

+8.

Since even cpan did not work, I tried to install the missing Win32::Console via ppm, but to no avail.

C:\>ppm install Win32-Console
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...not found
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides Win32-Console
C:\>ppm search *
*** no packages matching '*' found ***

What is going wrong here? (on my Win 10 box Log::Any and Config::Tiny installed flawlessly)
