in reply to install MinGW for ActiveState

Try:

Administrator://{C} # ppm search MinGW Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...done Updating ActiveState Package Repository database...done 1: MinGW Utility to manage software builds Version: 5.1.4.1 Author: MinGW Team (http://mingw.org)> Require: dmake Repo: ActiveState Package Repository CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/dist/MinGW-5.1.4.1/ Administrator://{C} #

The 'search' feature will search your set repositories for it. Perhaps you don't have a repository with MinGW available?

Alternatively, you could download http://www.mingw.org by itself and follow installation instructions, making sure you put it in your path. I have Bloodshed Dev-C++ (which doesn't seem to be available anymore at www.bloodshed.net) installed - which uses the MinGW gcc/g++ compilers. It's in my path and Perl uses it just fine with 'dmake' (ppm install dmake).

    thanks for the answers. I installed MinGW by itself and changed my system path to find it.
