in reply to installing Math::pari

Specifically, A guide to installing modules for Win32 will give you detailed instructions on setting up your own PPM repository. The Math::Pari package can be downloaded as a complete ZIP file from http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/ and installed fomr there.

      The idea is that you go to the link posted by jdtoronto ( http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/Math-Pari.tar.gz ) and download the Math-Pari zip. Then extract that zip file to some folder, 'cd' to that folder and do what the Readme tells you to do. However ... don't know if it was just me ... or if the website was down when I tried .. or what ... but I couldn't download the zip file. As an alternative, download http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/Math-Pari.tar.gz and place it in some folder and 'cd' to that folder. In the same folder, place a file named Math-Pari.ppd that looks like this: 
       <SOFTPKG NAME="Math-Pari" VERSION="2,010500,0,0">
    <TITLE>Math-Pari</TITLE>
    <ABSTRACT>Perl interface to PARI</ABSTRACT>
    <AUTHOR>Ilya Zakharevich &lt;cpan@ilyaz.org&gt;</AUTHOR>
    <IMPLEMENTATION>
        <OS NAME="MSWin32" />
        <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8" />
        <CODEBASE HREF="Math-Pari.tar.gz" />
    </IMPLEMENTATION>
</SOFTPKG>

      [download]
      Then run:
      ppm install Math-Pari.ppd

      Cheers,
      Rob
