No, it works with Strawberry, too. (Let me know where it says it
works only with ActivePerl, and I'll re-word it to make it clearer.)
I've anticipated that the problem might have been that the wiki says:
"If you don't have the PPM utility then your best option is to use
PAR::Dist::InstallPPD ...."
which I've now changed to:
"If you are using Strawberry Perl or don't have the PPM utility then
your best option is to use PAR::Dist::InstallPPD ...."
But if that's not the documentation that threw you, please let me know
where it was, so that I can correct it.
64bit strawberry perl does not come with ppm utility preinstalled and if
you try to install ppm from CPAN it will not work correctly
Try to install "somehow-patched" version via command:
c:\> pip
http://svn.ali.as/cpan/trunk/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/share/modules/PPM-0.01_03.tar.gz
It should work with Rob's repos but will not work with ActiveState repos
(they use newer PPD format).
I have already talked about this with Rob couple of weeks ago and I will
put ppm back into the next 64bit strawberry perl.
