Subject: Win32 pm won't install through PPM
I'm using PPM to download and install on XP Pro the Win32 pm and it
comes up with a path error
ERROR: 500 Cannot write to 'C:\DOCUME~1\regbuild\LOCALS~1\Temp\ppm-
ZriaEM/Win32-x86-multi-thread-5.8/Win32-0.34.tgz': No such file or
directory
What command did you run ?
ActivePerl already has Win32 installed - though, on perl 5.8 (build 822)
it's only version 0.3. Perl 5.10 (ActiveState build1002) ships with
Win32-0.34.
I couldn't find a ppm package for version 0.34 (or 0.35) that's suitable for
perl 5.8. Is the version of Win32 that you already have (0.3) unsuited to
your needs ? If so, someone (me, if necessary) could build you a ppm package
of 0.34 (or 0.35). Let us know if that's what you want.
This happens on 2 different machines. Note the '\' and '/' which is
probably what's causing this.
No - both the '\' and '/' will work equally well as path separators. That
won't be an issue.
Is there a way to work around this? I found the tar.gz on CPAN and
downloaded manually, but I don't know how to manually import it into
AS Perl.
You'll need a C compiler to build Win32 from CPAN source.
Cheers,
Rob
