Maybe you should install IPC::Run first

    Sorry for the delay. I was out of the town for the long weekend. Per your suggestion, I have successfully installed IPC::Run into the system. After that here is what the log describes about the wxPerl::Constructors 

     
C:\strawberry>cpanp -i wxPerl::Constructors

      Welll, in Problem with wxperl/constructors.pm you'll notice a distinct lack of strawberry in @INC

      Using N different perls is great, but just because you install some module in strawberryperl doesn't mean all the other perls will see the module

      Use the cpanp from the other perl to install this module

        Initially, I have installed ActivePerl without even searching what is needed to be used for Windows. Then I come to know that Strawberry is much needed for Windows. Then went ahead installed it. Now, I have the batch files to switch back and forth to Active and Strawberry. I have switched back to Active to install IPC::Run. The following error is being thrown in the console, but also displays the IPC::Run is installed successfully.

         
C:\Perl64>cpanp -i IPC::Run

It looks like you don't have a C compiler and make utility installed. 
+ Trying
to install dmake and the MinGW gcc compiler using the Perl Package Man
+ager.
This may take a a few minutes...

ppm.bat install failed: Can't find any package that provides MinGW

It looks like the installation of dmake and MinGW has failed.  You wil

able to run Makefile commands or compile C extension code.  Please che
