I am Getting following Error. Can't locate loadable object for module Template::Stash::XS. I understand this error is becuase of incompatibility issue of perl 5.6 to 5.8. I am using perl 5.8. Can somebody tell me where will i get Templte Toolkit module compatiable with perl 5.8.

    It is available here.

    Do 

    ppm add rep winnipeg http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms

    [download]

    Then search and install in the usual way.

        I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

        What BrowserUK was trying to show you is how to get modules from _other_ PPM repositories. If ActiveState's repository doesn't have a particular module, another repository might. He was trying to get you to add Randy Kobes' repository to the list that the ppm utility uses to find modules.

        Start up ppm or ppm3, then type in this command: 

          rep add RandyKobes http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/

        [download]
        (I like to use the person's name as the name of the repository, to remember who to thank!)

        Then do a "search template-toolkit". Now you will see a listing for a 5.8 compatible module. You can then do an "install template-toolkit" to get the right thing. If you have confused ppm enough, you might have to say "install template-toolkit -force"

        But this is assuming you are using ActiveState's ActivePerl 5.8 distributions on a Windows box. perrin correctly wonders if this is true - is it? If so, maybe these other notes will help you:

    Template Toolkit is compatible with both Perl 5.6 and 5.8, but you must compile it for your system, or use the correct binary distribution if you are on Windows. Are you asking for a 5.8 distribution for Windows?
