Hiii

I'm trying to install Par::Packer with ppm.

I'm in a windows XP professional and have activeperl 5.12.2 installed in my machine and I'm getting this error. 
C:\>ppm install PAR::Packer
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...done
Updating ActiveState Package Repository database...done
Downloading bribes packlist...not modified
Syncing site PPM database with .packlists...done
Syncing perl PPM database with .packlists...done
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides PAR::Packer

[download]
Tryed to use cpan but it says that i dont have perl58.dll and show me a lot of errors.

I was reading some other foruns and information but i found no answer , is PAR-Packer 1.009 works for me? what should I do?

Thanks

    Add the trouchelle repo. Activestate doesn't have it. I don't know about bribes as I don't use it.

      ppm rep add trouchelle.com http://trouchelle.com/ppm/

      I wish to add a few more things , i stepped in another problem and thats how i solved it

      In C:\Perl\lib\Config.pm I had to change 1 line to make it work

      The Forum Reference is here http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=866030

      Find this line: 

      $^V eq 5.12.2
    or die "Perl lib version (5.12.2) doesn't match executable version
+ (" .
    sprintf("v%vd",$^V) . ")";

      [download]

      Replace with

      $^V eq 5.12.2 or $^V eq 5.12.0
    or die "Perl lib version (5.12.2) doesn't match executable version
+ (" .
    sprintf("v%vd",$^V) . ")";

        Thanks Secalles for the details. It is really nice. I am trying to install the PAR-PACKER module. But couldn't succeed, I am doing the following steps: my OS is Window 7 and installed version of Perl is 5.10.1 C:\Users\user>ppm install PAR-Packer ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides PAR-Packer C:\Users\user>ppm rep add trouchelle.com http://trouchelle.com/ppm10/ Downloading trouchelle.com packlist...done Updating trouchelle.com database...done Repo 3 added. After adding the repository I cannot able to see any packages available to install in PPM preferences. it says #Pkgs is 0. I have executed the same command again , it is still showing an error C:\Users\user>ppm install PAR-Packer ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides PAR-Packer Thanks in advance to let me know if I miss something.
