Re^2: UCS2 Internationalization file parsing

Uncle! I downloaded the Unicode::String tar/zip, but I can't get it working.

I believed I had ActivePerl installed on Windows, but "ppm" gives me a 'not found' error.

I tried the perl -MCPAN -e method, but I'm not sure what to feed it. Unicode::String? Some paths?

Thanks.

If you are using ActivePerl and ppm isn't working, you probably have a broken install. I would first suggest reinstalling ActivePerl. (You may possibly have some other distribution of Perl earlier in your path. Try running `perl -v` [download] at the command line and see if it mentions ActiveState.) You could look at doing a CPAN install, but you are going to need a C compiler on your system to do so. You Unicode::String isn't a pure perl module, so you can't (easily) just do a manual install and expect it to work. Your best bet is to get ppm working.	[reply] [d/l]
