Install directory still defaults to C:\Perl64 instead of the set C:\prg\Perl64

I used http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases/5.20.2.2001/ActiveP... installation package on Windows 7 64bit and changed the install directory from the default C:\Perl64 to C:\prg\Perl64. The installer, however, still installs to the c:\Perl64 directory.

When it comes to display the release note it cannot open it at C:\prg\Perl64\html\release.html, the error message is:

[ (X) C:\prg\Perl64\html\release.html]
(X) Windows cannot find 'C:\prg\Perl64\html\release.html'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
[OK]

The directory C:\prg\Perl64 is not even created, instead C:\Perl64 is used.

Problems with 'gdata' and Perl - "unable to locate valid perl interpreter"

Hi there,

I just installed ActivePerl (ActiveState Software ActivePerl 5.20.2001) but it doesn't seem to communicate with my R Studio program since I get this message everytime I try to run the command "library(gdata)" after I have installed the gdata package. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks a lot!!

Here's what R Studio says:

"> install.packages('gdata')

... I am sorry for the last bit that is in Danish, but I hope it still makes sense.

Can I move the ActivePerl top level directory after installation?

All;
I am running ActivePerl 5.18 on all of my CentOS hosts and use the default installation directory of /opt/ActivePerl-5.18. However, I am wondering what the consequences would be if I renamed or moved the directory to say, /usr/local. Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks;

Perl 5.22.1 install seems to not install DBD::Oracle (Oracle.pm missing)

Recently installed ActivePerl-5.22.1.2201-MSWin32-x86-64int-299574.msi

PPM shows DBD::Oracle installed to perl area as version 1.74, which is latest available, but I get errors when running my former programs that:
>>Can't locate DBD/Oracle.pm in @INC (you may need to install the DBD::Oracle module) (@INC
>>contains: ... C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at \\vie ...

There are many other DBD packages under C:\Perl\lib\DBD, but no Oracle.pm

The workaround is to use PPM to reinstall DBD::Oracle, which will put a copy in
C:\Perl\site\lib\DBD.
PPM will show a 'perl' and a 'site' area DBD::Oracle, but the perl area still has none - but that's ok; it works.

I didn't have this issue with prior version, notably 5.20.2 was the last I installed. Maybe I missed something or something changed on my system? I had been trying to install the 64-bit versions and had run-time errors about unable to win32 Oracle.dll, but did a clean uninstall of both 64 and 32 to see if that helped and still have this problem. (32-bit version).

Any ideas?

"ppm install failed: DBD::SQLite::db selectrow_array failed: file is encrypted or is not in a database"

Im searching for solutions for this problems since hours but i found nothing yet. Even if i type only PPM in the command shell it appears the same error.

Could someone help me with that problem? I would appreciate this a lot.

Komodo IDE @INC Does not point to installed Perl Modules on Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

I have installed Perlbrew and cpanm on my Mac OS X since El Capitan locks down the native perl installation.

When I "use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;", I get an edit error "Can't locate Spreadsheet/ParseExcel in @INC (you may need to install the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module) ...

I have installed Spreadsheet::ParseExcel using cpanm. I have modified the Komodo "File Properties and Settings" -> Additional Perl Interperter so the directory is there, but I still get the error even though the directory is in the path. What could I be doing wrong?

Unable to Install

I'm utilizing Active Perl and the Perl Package Manager for an undertaking for a idioms graduate understudy. I am utilizing ActivePerk 5.16.2 Build 1602. I'm on Windows 7.

I'm attempting to introduce 2 bundles, yet the "Imprint for Install" catch is dark ed out and I can't click (comparably, in the event that I hunt down the bundle name and right snap it, I see the alternative to Install it yet it is likewise dim ed out). The bundles I might want to introduce are for 2.30 and 1.13

Each time I stack PPM, I get this window:

All enacted introduce territories are perused as it were. You can't as of now introduce or uproot bundles. Take a stab at empowering the uninitialized Areas in the Preferences dialog

So I squeeze Ok to close the window. At that point I go to the apparatuses symbol on the privilege to stack the PPM Preferences, and I click around and I click "site" and it inquires:

Should PPM begin following bundles in site?

I squeeze "alright" and it's blunder and Access is denied.

Installing active perl in lubuntu: Paths? Man?

i just installed active perl, and it went without a hitch, except... i have no idea how to set the PATH and MAN variables as suggested in the documentation or the prompt after installation. it doesnt go into much detail and assumes the user knows what to do. well i dont know what to do...

the problem lies in that lubuntu has to be different from other versions of ubuntu/debian, so it is a wild goose chase to find the correct files to append so that the MAN and PATH variables are correct and i can start using activeperl. google search lends no clear results and is still confusing. my file structure often does not have the same files mentioned in community posts, so appending the files suggested does no good. i dont have the same files. this leaves me hanging and wondering where to find them, since my files and directory do not match the answers im finding. as a result i have a bajillion windows and files open trying to sort this out, but i need to narrow it down to the actual files i need to append in lubuntu and what exactly i need to put in those text files correctly in a lubuntu environment. the files either do not exist, or such things are handled differently by another file that provides the same function but is not named in any of the answers im reading.

which download do I need: activeperl 5.24.0 for windows (x86)|activeperl 5.24.0 for windows (64-bit, x64)

at http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads I get two choices:
download activeperl 5.24.0 for windows (x86)
download activeperl 5.24.0 for windows (64-bit, x64)

I want to continue with the same 32-64-bitness as the current AS-version I'm running.

NOTE: I'll be running PDK 9.5. Does that impact which 32-64-bitness???

Here is version info from my currently running perl version:

* perl -V:ivsize says
ivsize='8';

* perl -V:archname says
archname='MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-64int';

* perl -v says

This is perl 5, version 20, subversion 1 (v5.20.1) built for MSWin32-

x86-multi-thread-64int
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

Error installing ActivePerl 5.24 on CentOS6

All;
I was wondering if there is a way to install the new ActivePerl 5.24 on a CentOS6 server. I'm getting an error:

"perl/bin/perl: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by perl/bin/perl)".

Does this mean that unless I am running CentOS7, I can no longer use new versions of ActivePerl as they become available? I have dozens of mission critical customer servers running CentOS6 so its not possible for me to simply switch operating systems.

Thanks;
Frank

ActivePerl 5.22.2 does not register dlls on Win7

On Win7 I installed AP 5.24 then found I had to use 5.22. So I uninstalled 5.24 (unused) and installed ActivePerl-5.22.2.2202-MSWin32-x86-64int-300560.exe. When I ran my perl script from the command line I received an error that perl524.dll was missing. I don't know what is still looking for perl524. This is when I searched the registry and found no dlls were registered. I did find some 'perl' entries that did point to the AP folder.

I also found that I have perl5 in Git and Anaconda on this PC.

Is AP not compatible with these?

How to Get Perl to Automatically Look in Specific Directories for Scripts?

September 15, 2016, 7:18 pm

I have ActiveState Perl installed on a Windows machine.

Now, suppose I have scripts, including one called "SomeScript.pl", in this directory:

"C:\Example\Foo\Bar\"

How do I configure Perl to automatically look in that directory for scripts when it is passed a script path?

For example, from the command line, I can run...:

perl C:\Example\Foo\Bar\SomeScript.pl

...just fine.

But the following...:

perl SomeScript.pl

fails because Perl doesn't know to look in the "C:\Example\Foo\Bar\" directory. How do I configure Perl to automatically look in some specific directory for scripts when passed a script name from the command line?
