Re: OT:ARSPerl - Error while installing

Hi Frank,

 

I tried that as suggested but that was the version I have already tried. I may have misunderstood but I had many more than 2 files and none were .ppd.

 

Thanks anyway,

 

Gary

** If you are doing this on a Windows platform then you can make is a bit easier for yourself by using a Perl build from www.activestate.com. Download and install it. Then get ARSPerl  from this link:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/arsperl/arsperl_184_63.zip?download

I put the ZIP in the same folder as Perl (C:\Perl).
Unpack its contents, two files, and the alter the .ppd file removing the "x86/" reference.
From a DOS prompt in the C:\perl folder type "ppm install ars184_63.ppd".

This works for me and I've installed perl and ARS Perl a bunch of times.

Hope this helps.

The ARSperl Makefile.PL has problems handling directory names containing
space characters (in this case "Program Files" and "AR System").
As a workaround, you might copy the "Api" directory to some other
location and compile against this copy.
