I am using Windows XP, ActiveState Perl 5.8.8, build 820.

In pursuit of duplicating your problem, I attempted to install MIME-Lite-HTML-1.22. Unfortunately it would not pass two of its tests because, as the error message says, "symbolic links are not supported on this system". Consequently this will not install (except perhaps with force). Are you sure this is supposed to work on Windows? How did you get past this?

I will paste below attempts to run the failing tests one at time.

C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\DOCUME~1\WEBDOW~1\perl\mime\MIME-Lite-HTML-1.22>perl -Mblib t\20create_image_part.t
ln: symbolic links are not supported on this system
