Hello, Everyone: I encountered these errors when trying to use the Par::packer(Version: 0.991) installed from ppm.

It looks like you don't have a C compiler on your PATH, so you will no

MinGW package using the Perl Package Manager by running:

    ppm install MinGW

I tried to install MinGW and see whether it helps. Unfortunately that does not help. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Is there a workable Par::Packer for ActivePer 5.12.2 or I have to downgrade to a previous version of Perl and/or Par::Packer? Thank you, Xingliang
