Hi, I've tried to install ActivePerl-5.8.8.820-MSWin32-x86-274739.msi under Windows XP, but after the installation process finished successfully, I've seen that under the site/lib directory there is a single file named sitecustomize.pl.
That file contains only the following line: # empty sitecustomize.pl file I've tried to do more things but with any result. I've tried to reinstall it but it is the same. I've tried to see what shows if I open the OLE browser, and I've seen just a message telling that it doesn't work because of some settings of the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe. I've enabled that settings, and now the OLE browser works. After doing this, I've uninstalled and then installed again Perl, but the site/lib directory has a single file again. Another thing I've seen when installing perl was that the installer asked me for 1. the licence agreement 2. The components to install (I've chosen the defaults, but I changed the installation path to "E:\usr\"). 3. And here is the strange part.... it asked me only if I want to add the perl bin to the PATH environment variable and if I want to associate the perl5 extension. Well, I have VS.net 2005 and VS 6 installed, and I think perl should have asked me if I want to choose other settings, but it didn't do that. Well, I don't need those settings, but I've seen that it doesn't ask me anymore so there should be something strange here. I put Windows to make all the updates so I think some of them might have done something that doesn't allow me to install perl correctly. Do you have any idea if I can do something to make it work? Oh, and by the way, I need to install perl because I've seen some strange errors in a perl application I've made with Catalyst, an application that used to work fine in the past. I don't know if this has something to do with the fact that now I can't install perl correctly, but it gave an error something like: search_paths: Can't open E:\usr\site\lib\Config\Any\E:\INI.pm: Invalid argument at E:/usr/site/lib/Module/Pluggable/Object.pm line 162. Compilation failed in require at E:/usr/site/lib/Catalyst/Test.pm line 90. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at E:\web\MyTest\script\mytest_test.pl line 9. And when I've tried to install Catalyst::Runtime it gave some errors, like: Can't locate Win32.pm in @INC (@INC contains: E:\usr\cpan\build\Catalyst-Runtime-5.7012\blib\lib E:\usr\cpan\build\Catalyst-Runtime-5.7012\blib\arch) at E:/usr/lib/Cwd.pm line 663. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. ...although I know that I have the module Win32.pm. Thank you for any help.
