Is there a reason Filter 1.45 is blocked for current versions of Perl on Windows?

Dear Sir,

While executing a perl script in Windows 2008- 64bitPC. I am getting the below
error message.

====================
Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl64/site/lib C:/Perl64/
ib .) at line 3.
====================

When I have checked for mysql.pm file, it was not present in the location
C:/Perl64/site/lib. I have also checked at the location C:/Perl64/lib, there
DBI folder is present but there is no "mysql.pm" file. I have copied the files
from C:/Perl64/lib/DBI under C:/Perl64/site/lib as all the perl modules and
files are by default taking from this location. While trying to install the
DBI:mysql from PPM, it is asking for the login details of activeperl business
version.

Later, I have removed the files that I have manually copied. I have installed a
Community Edition from the URL :
http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads.

Could you please update me with the exact steps for the installation of the
DBI::mysql module? I have gone through the docs that you have mentioned above.
The give for PPM is not having the exact location from which I have to download
the DBI::mysql module.

Regarding the second link, it is not useful for me as I am using ActivePerl
Community Edition.

Thank you in advance.

Awaiting your reply.

I upgraded to 5.16 and now I can't get Log-StdLog: Windows 32bit.
http://code.activestate.com/ppm/Log-StdLog/

Is there something else I can use or should I go back to earlier revision of PERL??

Who can tell me the FTP username and password ? Thank you very mach!

I want XML:LibXSLT for Win32 ActivePerl so I can use PerlApp to create a Windows native executable.

The failed build log (http://code.activestate.com/ppm/XML-LibXSLT/) suggests the reason the build failed was because the XML::LibXML prerequisite was not met, but since XML::LibXML is a successful build (http://code.activestate.com/ppm/XML-LibXML/), I wonder if you just ran the builds in the wrong order.

I am able to get the compiled modules from Strawberry Perl, and I have successfully cannibalized the Strawberry Perl installation to get the prerequisites for ActiveState Perl:

But I am concerned about having XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT use different dlls since I often share DOM objects between the two modules. I don't know if this is a problem or not.

Ironically, XML::Schematron provides LibXSLT support and ActiveState had no problem building the version for that module which demonstrates it can be built on your servers: http://code.activestate.com/ppm/XML-Schematron/

Can ActiveState try building it again?

Thanks,
Robert

I had tried different ways to install PAR package, without any success.

A script I am compiling with PerlApp 9.2.1 and ActivePerl version 5.16.3.1603 requires the module Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::consense. Using PPM 4.17 I cannot find any part of Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo. In addition to the basic ActiveState PAckage Repository I have added the Bioperl, the log4perl and the Bioperl-run repositories.

The module I need is on CPAN. IS there something else I need to do to download it via ppm, or do I need to download and install it manually?

Thanks for your help.

Hi

I am trying to download the Win32::API module via ppm using the command 'ppm install Win32::API' at the command prompt of my Windows XP virtual machine. I get the following error:

Downloading Win32-API-0.64...redirect

My Perl version printout is as follows:

I looked up on your site and it asked me to buy the Business edition license of Active Perl to support older Perl versions and so I did. I got the license installer and also installed it on the XP virtual machine. However, inspite of all that I still get the 401 Authorization required error when I try to issue the 'ppm install Win32::API' package - what am I doing incorrectly?

Please response ASAP as I am in a dire need of this.

Thanks,
Kranti

Has anyone published code for automating the maintenance for a ppm/ppd repository for multiple modules and multiple architectures? An additional question, for those interested, is this: is it better to centralize or distribute the solution? I see pros and cons for both but would appreciate feedback from anyone who has actually implemented at least one solution.

I've looked in this forum (and elsewhere) but haven't found anything yet.

I've found a few modules in the ActivePerl and ActiveState namespace that might help but I don't think they're designed to satisfy the all requirements I describe below.

I have a working private ppm web site for ppm-hosting my 3 XS based modules for 3 architectures. Recently, when I started building with ActivePerl Business Edition (ABE), I expanded the maintenance from 3 architectures to 8 of the 10 supported by ABE. To make matters more tedious, I have identified over 10 modules that my products required that aren't available from ActiveState for 4 of those 8 architectures.

You can imagine that when it comes to focusing on writing software that makes me money, I don't like getting interrupted with this maintenance task. Alternatively, I can just ask Graham if he would kindly build the modules and then wait. But in either case (me building them or me asking for someone else to build them), there is a big interruption in my creative process.

Just for review, this is what I have to do whenever a module update is required (which might be predicated by an upgrade of ActivePerl):

- determine if CPAN has a newer version
- download the source
- make test the module for each platform where an install will eventually take place
- tar -zcf mod.tar.gz blib
- transfer the tar.gz file to a specific directory
- edit the package.xml file to add the new version of the package that you just built

In an ideal world, here are most of the code that I would hope I would have to write if the solution were centralized:

Thanks.

I need the Net :: SSH2 package, but not in the list of PPM, I am using ActiveState and PDF for linux, someone has managed to install?

Hi all,

The latest MCE 1.410 should be passing for Perl 5.12 under the Windows (32-bit) environment. I'm not able to reproduce the (wstat 1280, 0x500) error on my end. I have modified 3 test scripts to use threads instead when running under MSWin32.

http://code.activestate.com/ppm/MCE/

If possible, can someone build MCE 1.410 for the Windows (32-bit) environment. Do you know if MCE has been placed on some sort of black-list for not automatically building due to previous failed attempts?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Best Regards,
Mario

I installed a package using PPM on Jun 23, 2013, so it was working then.

Now, when I do a PPM search, I get a 404 error. Here is some info. The repository config seems correct and I did not intentionally change it.

On a Solaris x86 machine, we have Active perl 5.12 version installed.
We wanted to support SSL communication from Perl application.

When i tried to communicate to a HTTPS url i get the following error.
500 Can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::Protocol::https::Socket"

On debugging, realized that we don't have the needed Net-SSLeay module installed. Hope that is causing this error.

When we tried to install Net-SSLeay using ppm, we get the following error.

We have Perl Business Edition license. I hope ppm should allow us to install the needed modules.

# ./ppm install Net-SSLeay
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...not found
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides Net-SSLeay
# ./ppm install Net::SSLeay

I would like to have a ppm for IUP, a perl module providing a graphical user interface.
IUP: http://search.cpan.org/~kmx/IUP-0.101/lib/IUP.pod

I tried to build it within Strawberry perl (portable, version 5.18.1, on Windows 32 bit) and it worked flawlessly through cpanm:
cpanm --prompt IUP
No problem even on some Linux machines.

As I see, your automatic attempt to build the ppm fails because of a timeout, but without any real issue: http://code.activestate.com/ppm/IUP

I would like to install Verilog-Perl module. Launched ppm, and can not find Verilog-Perl in the list. How can I install Verilog-Perl module via ppm?

Hi there,

I have ActivePerl 5.16.3 running on a Windows 7 64 bit. I'm attempting to install the Perl module DBIx-JSON by launching the PPM, marking the said module for install and then running marked actions via the UI.

I'm getting the error below when I do this:

ERROR: Can't extract files from C:\Users\mycorporateuserID\AppData\Local\Temp\ppm-Jw5UXe/DBIx-JSON-0.02.tgz

This issue isn't just for the JSON module, but all other ones I can see in the PPM repository that have not yet been installed. I did manage to install the DBD::mysql module successfully not too long ago so I'm not sure what has changed.

Below is a detailed error log from PPM, generated when I attempted to install the module.

If I can get some help on installing the module without the file extraction issue, that'd be great. I have tried commenting out "##$ua->default_header("Accept-Encoding" => "gzip, deflate");" in the Web.pm, and launching the PPM as an Administrator.

Thanks in advance.
