If you are using 5.8.7 ActivePerl, this bug report is for you.
Basically the existent PAR package in ppm does not work. Instead, try using the U. Winnipeg PAR package with this
ppm>install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/PAR-588.ppd .

I would give the tkpp interface a try too. | [reply] |
While that is a valid suggestion, I would go one step further and suggest you use CPAN.pm to install PAR. If no C compiler is availlable, the PAR installer will download a PAR binary for your platform.
Of course, the binaries from CPAN aren't better than the ones from uwinnipeg per se. They just have the distinct advantage that I built them and so I can be of more help in debugging.
The best advice, however, comes from the PAR homepage itself. Just use the binary that is confirmed to work on your system as identified by http://par.wikia.com/wiki/PAR_PPM_Compatibility_List
Hope this helps,

It has been my experience with McAfee and other security software, that simply turning them off doesn't necessarily make them inactive. Especially with McAfee, you just about have to uninstall it to get it to stop doing things. I believe this is done to prevent malware from inactivating the antivirus software; however, it's a major problem when you're trying to eliminate the antivirus program as a cause of problems.

Well...turning off the security really decreases its effectiveness.

Yes, it certainly does. It's a Dirty Harry question - "Do I feel lucky?" My answer is always, "No".
Those two security suites are flawed, IMNSHO. You ought to be able to run programs you write, either directly, or by telling the program to allow it. There are programs that allow this; I use Avast! antivirus and Outpost firewall, among other things. Works for me; as always, YMMV.
