Greetings. As I am unable to get Inline::Python to compile properly on windows 10. Appearantly it relies on the module Proc::ProccessTable which from what I have heard does not work on windows. Is there an alternative? Or does anybody know if there is a precompiled version somewhere? I am running active state perl and I have not been able to find it in their repo. Any help would be greatly apreciated. OK, I think i may have broken something so I tried reinstalling mingw and clicked everything i could install. Now when I run cpan19> notest install Inline::Python I get this output:

Running install for module 'Inline::Python'

Skipping test because of notest pragma
Running make install
Make had some problems, won't install

Which isn't very helful to me, it seems it is just a general fail to make. Also it says it can't make clean because it is missing a Makefile, which i suppose is bad. I tried downloading the tar and doing the installation manually. appearantly I have a too old version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker

Doing
> upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker
or
> install ExtUtils::MakeMaker
results in:
Catching error: "Modification of non-creatable hash value attempted, subscript \"build_requires\" at C:/Perl/lib/CPAN.pm line 9734.\cJ\cI...propagated at C:/Perl/lib/CPAN.pm line 3266.\cJ" at C:/Perl/lib/CPAN.pm line 281. CPAN::shell() called at C:\Perl\bin/cpan.bat line 211
Maybe it's time to give up? Is it at all possible to get cpan to play nicely with windows? I am running perl 5.10 from active state.
