... se Re: use XML::LibXML; is causing compile error Yes, XML-LibXML has quite a few dependencies - anyone wanting to install the uwinnipeg ppm for perl-5.8 would be well advised to first add it to the list of repo's (unless it's already there): `ppm repo add http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/` [download] Then it's just a matter of: C:\_32>ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/XML-LibXML.ppd Downloading XML-LibXML-1.64...done Downloading XML-SAX-0.96...done Downloading XML-NamespaceSupport-1.09...done Downloading XML-LibXML-Common-0.13...done Unpacking XML-LibXML-1.64...done Unpacking XML-SAX-0.96...done Unpacking XML-NamespaceSupport-1.09...done Unpacking XML-LibXML-Common-0.13...done Generating HTML for XML-LibXML-1.64...done Generating HTML for XML-SAX-0.96...done Generating HTML for XML-NamespaceSupport-1.09...done Generating HTML for XML-LibXML-Common-0.13...done Updating files in site area...done Downloading XML-LibXML-Common-0.13 install script...done Running XML-LibXML-Common-0.13 install script...Set up gcc environment + - 3.4.5 mingw-vista special r3) The library libxml2.dll is needed to complete the installation, and should be placed in a directory somewhere in your PATH environment variable.

Couldn't make it work with ActiveState's ppm/binaries, submitted a bug, never heard anything since. In any case I had to switch to Linux for other stuff. So far so good:-) Cheers, Harry	[reply]

Just FYI - I also stopped using ActiveState PERL since I learned how powerful Strawberry PERL is. You can still use PPM and POD, now Windows can use CPAN and source too! Also: PERL makes Windows Executables! 1.) Install Strawberry PERL in Windows (Not ActiveState PERL) - Strawberry has a C/C++ Compiler and CPAN and PPM support! 2.) Open a command prompt and add PAR-Packer: (If you use a proxy server, set environment: HTTP_proxy http://YourProxy:8080) cpan install PAR::Packer 3.) Create a fully distributable Win32 binary EXE using pp and your current PERL scripts from the command line: pp -o hello.exe helloworld.pl 4.) Add PERL Tk via PPM command line to create Windows GUI programs ppm install Tk	[reply]
