Hello Perl Masters, I need to install 18N::Langinfo which is a prerequisite of XBRL and some other modules. Several minutes after I enter "force install 18N::Langinfo" under cpan, the following error message pop up. ”Unsupported 16-bit Application… configure.com cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.” Any ideas on the issue? Thanks a lot.

This is what I get 

$ cpanm  I18N::Langinfo
skipping R/RJ/RJBS/perl-5.20.0.tar.gz

$ corelist  I18N::Langinfo

Data for 2014-07-20
I18N::Langinfo was first released with perl v5.7.3

[download]

See also Distributions which depend on I18N::Langinfo - metacpan.org

So I wouldn't try to force install it, that means force installing the latest perl version ... I'm quite happy with the portable citrusperl 5.16.1 on my old windows machine

Whatever perl you have, it already comes with I18N::Langinfo, don't need to install it
