in thread Perl binary - Perl Installer Issue in windows

perl -MLWP::Simple -e "print getstore('http://downloads.activestate.co +m/.../ActivePerl-5.8.8.819-MSWin32-x64-267479.msi', 'ActivePerl-5.8.8 +.819-MSWin32-x86-267479.msi')"
The above prints '500' what does that mean ? I executed the above in HP Unix Box.

    I think it means that a server error was encountered. (I actually get '404' - which tells me the file wasn't found.)

    There's no such file as 'http://downloads.activestate.com/.../ActivePerl-5.8.8.819-MSWin32-x64-267479.msi'.
    Try ' http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ActivePerl-5.8.8.819-MSWin32-x64-267479.msi'.

    Cheers,

    Update:Fix the location specified to specify the 64-bit version (x64) instead of the 32-bit version (x86).
      as bart said, I had that install Issue,becasue I downloaded the package from Firefox browser. I downloaded the same file using IE. now The problem got solved.
