in reply to Installing Perl modules on Win64/Perl 5.8

  1. You can install 32-bit AS 5.8 on a 64-bit Windows and it runs just fine.
  2. If you actually need a 64-bit Perl, get 5.10.

    There are 12000+ 64-bit packages available from AS for 5.10 64-bit:

    I realise the repository is available for 5.10 but I specifically need to use 5.8.x x64 so I wish to understand how to go about obtaining 64 bit modules for 5.8.

        That will not work because there are no repositories available for x64 5.8.8 (only 5.10). So in light of this situation I need to know if there is another way I can get x64 Perl modules for 5.8.8.
