I recently downloaded and installed activeperl 5.28.1. A number of modules I really need were not part of the installed Perl. So I signed into the activstate platform, created a project and attempted to add some packages. To my surprise every time I try to add a package it just sits there with the message "Adding ...". I have exchanged many emails with the folks at activestate about this and other issues I am having with this project/build. They said in one of their emails they could install packages into my custom project but they do not seem to have any idea on how to solve my issue of problems with adding packages. My system is a 64-bit windows 10 laptop. Has anyone else encountered this issue ? Has anyone else solved this issue ? Thanks.
