bleurose has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all, first I will admit that I am a Python Priest most than a Perl Monk so that probably explains my ignorance here :-) I am trying to install Perl so that I can use Bugzilla/Testopia on my Windows box. I had ActiveState Perl installed but the JSON.pm that comes with ActiveState is apparently not compatible ith Testopia (and all sorts of errors occur). Someone recommended Strawberry Perl, so I did a reinstallation of that Perl tonight.

When I ran .\checksetup.pl for Bugzilla, it told me the typical bunch of modules I had to install using ppm (it said to use ppm, not cpan, so I did that and it seemed to work). However, when I got down to just one module left, Template-Toolkit, it installed it but the checksetup script continues to say that I need to install it. When I run ppm again, it says that Template-Toolkit is up-to-date.

I realize this may not specifically be a Perl problem but I was hoping someone else may shed some light on this. Do I need to get a more current Template-Toolkit than the one that Strawberry Perl tried to install? Do I need to use CPAN (but then how, because when I tried doing cpan for Template-Toolkit, it said it didn't know what Template-Toolkit was.

Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this.

    I don't know if it'll solve your problem but for what it's worth you need to cpan Template::Toolkit to install it using cpan (note the '::' instead of '-')
