Re^2: installing correct Par::Packer on ActivePerl 5.12.2

I spent a very long time trying to get PAR::Packer to work under ActivePerl and finally gave up.

That's odd, I have activeperl (v5.10.0) and whatever PAR::Packer version PPM gave me and I never had a problem so far (Windows XP 32 bit).

Finally, when I use ActivePerl v5.10.0, the Par::Packer works. But it does not work on ActivePerl v5.10.1 and v5.12.2, two versions which ActiveState provides downloads on their websites. So I think I have to downgrade to ActivePerl v5.10.0. Thank you for sharing. Xingliang	[reply]

Well, I suppose everyone's experiences will differ. The last ActivePerl version I have is 5.10.1 and I'm using XP. I recall spending some months following the bug reports quite closely and trying whatever patches became available on CPAN. If it helps anyone, I'm currently using Strawberry Perl 5.12.0 and PAR::Packer 1.006 -- Ken	[reply]
