I'm sorry, i'm quite new to using a bug tracker, or usenet or even perl and to programming in general. It looked liked the same issue i was having and so I replied to it.
I don't think if I replied to the group Ulli would receive this message but I'm not sure so: This is the sequece of commands I entered: == cpan> upgrade PAR::Packer # from the cpan shell, since installation failed cpan> look PAR::Packer dmake dmake test #all test successful dmake install # install successful == As already mentioned I use Strawberryperl so dmake is what I use.
