Hi, Looks like same bug as dealt with here. I'm assuming you're running build 820 of ActivePerl. (If that's not the case, and you can't work out how to apply the fix, get back to us.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]

I tried to install Time-piece in my machine (windows XP, perl 5.8.8 and build 820) Go to C:\perl\bin\ppm....you will get a ppm window opened. In that go to Edit -> Preferences -> Repositories -> Add. Then Add the below lines. http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.8/820/package.xml http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/ In the main screen of ppm window, you have 4 options View all packages, View installed packages,View upgraded packages, View packages to install/remove. Click view all packages, then type time-piece in the search, once you got the module displayed, right click on it and click install. Then press Ctrl+Enter for installation of module. You will see the below message after successfull installation. Time-Piece marked for install Installing package ...

On Windows XP Pro, Activestate build 820, gcc 3.4.2 and nmake 7.10.3077 it builds OK, but I remember having "fixed" someting in this set-up when I installed it. Probably the same thing syphilis mentioned. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James	[reply]
