I have the command line set to C:\ when I run pp, and I'm running Windows XP. I don't know where pp should be installed though, would it be in a Perl or ActivePerl directory?

    Most likely its path is c:\Perl\bin\pp.

      The only thing in there that is remotely close to pp is ppm, but that's the Perl Package Manager. As I said before, I already installed PAR using PPM and by command-line "nmake".

      BTW, the specific error code is, "'pp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

        If you installed a recent version of PAR then it didn't include pp. From the PAR POD:

        (If you want to make an executable that contains all module, scripts and data files, please consult the pp utility instead. pp used to be part of the PAR distribution but is now shipped as part of the the PAR::Packer manpage distribution instead.)

        Note too that Active State's ppm repository does not contain PAR::Packer.
