in thread Perl pp fails to create executable

Don't worry about it, regardless of which version of perl you're currently using (ActiveState vs Strawberry) I still suggest using cpan to install pp. If using ActiveState you'll need to install build tools (MinGW, dmake) which can be done via:

ppm install MinGW

Once this is done (note Strawberry ships with everything you need) you'll be able to install pp via:

cpan pp

    With your help, I have got 'pp' to work. Here is a brief summary of steps (for those who will follow in my path): 

    (1) installed ActiveState Perl 5.12.3
(2) ppm install MinGW
(3) cpan pp

    Thanks to you all, especially marto. Cheers!
