in thread LWP - 500 Internal Error

I tried ppm upgrade LWP But that returns "no upgrades available for LWP"

Having the upgrade through this utility qwould eb the best option

perl -V:make returns "nmake"

nmake gave errors where it said it couldn't find Program Files - I replaced all "Program Files" mention in the makefile with Progra~1

Next step nmake failed as follows 

E:\ovXtras\libwww-perl-5.831\libwww-perl-5.831>nmake

This path occurs in the makefile only once, as follows: 

FULLPERL = 0
ABSPERL = E:\ovXtras\libwww-perl-5.831\libwww-perl-5.831\0

And this "0" file doesn't even exist.

Now I don't know how to troubleshoot this.

    Try forcing it 
    ppm install LWP --force

    I don't use ppm often so I'm not sure if that command is correct.

    nmake gave errors where it said it couldn't find Program Files - I replaced all "Program Files" mention in the makefile with Progra~1

    You can install perl into "program files", but you have to police your path/config, see Changing Perl Config settings, example 

    C:\>echo echo %~s1 >shortpath.bat
C:\>call shortpath.bat "C:\Program Files\Perl\bin\perl.exe"
C:\PROGRA~1\Perl\bin\perl.exe

C:\>C:\PROGRA~1\Perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL


C:\>set path=C:\PROGRA~1\Perl\bin\perl.exe;%path

C:\>perl Makefile.PL

    For future reference, its better if you copy/paste error messages .
