Hi,
Our Engineering team want to use a perl script on our pre-production environment (Windows Server) that searches and replaces some values. This perl script is not included in the final product or distributed with any software or accessed by any 3rd party. Are we able to use the community edition, or does this require the purchase of a Business Edition license?
Regards,
Pantelis
Has anyone found a fix for the error:
The 'PerlScript' script engine crashed during initialization.
If you are using ActivePerl, ActiveState has acknowledged this is a known problem in versions newer than 5.16. Please contact ActiveState for information regarding a fix for the problem.
This is when trying to call a perl script in VanDyke Software's SecureCRT. I have tried a few different versions of SecureCRT and none of them are working.
Currently the Versions I am trying to use are:
SecureCRT 8.0.3 (x64 build 1183)
ActivePerl 5.24.0 Build 2400 (64-bit)

Hi,
After installing ActivePerl 5.22 x64 I´ve tried to use CPAN but all I got were error messages.
Can someone help me?
TIA

Hi,
I just downloaded ActivePerl community edition "ActivePerl-5.24.0.2400-MSWin32-x64-300558.exe". After running the installer, I was surprised that my Kaspersky internet security 2017 fired a warning, saying that the installer contains a trojan "PDM:Trojan.Win32.Generic". Thus my installation was not completed.
I hope that this issue should be fixed ASAP.
Mahdi.
All;
I was wondering if there is a supported version of Active Perl for the armv71/Raspbian architecture and OS? Are there any plans in the future?
Thanks;

Greetings All,
I teach biochemistry at a small liberal arts college in Kentucky, Berea College. We recently had a computer crash that wiped out my programs on a very old computer running Windows XP. To complete some proteomics experiments with my students, I really need to install a legacy version of ActivePerl, build 811 of ActivePerl 5.8. Is there any chance that someone out there still has this on an old computer that they can share? The new software is too expensive for us to upgrade, sadly.
Thanks in advance!

Hello friends,
Does anybody have any suggestions, about reinstalling ActivePerl over the installed one? (its my first time)
I didn't wanted to, but it happens that I already had ActivePerl installed at another drive and it is now messing with this one.
Thank You!!!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
We recently installed perl 5.24.1 on our new windows server 2012. The very first perl script I ran I got a windows pop up that said 'Perl Command Line Interpreter has stopped working.'
The details were:

I need to be able to deploy ActivePearl to multiple Windows 10 machines (via SCCM),
I can extract it to get an msi using;
"ActivePerl-5.24.1.2402-MSWin32-x64-401627.exe" /extract
But when calling this .msi I get the error:
"This Package can only be run from a bootstrapper."
Any information about unattended installation for ActivePearl?
Thanks in advance.

Windows Server 2016's support information is not listed, but do you have any plan to support it?
I am having a similar issue to nissam in post 12912 where they are having difficulty installing ActivePerl due to the requirement for GLIBC_2.14.
We are only able to install either GLIBC_2.12 or GLIBC_2.17 (available in the next RH release).
Would ActivePerl 5.2x support this GLIBC_2.17 (i.e. a minimum requirement for GLIBC_2.14 or is GLIBC_2.14 a specific requirement)?
We won't be moving to Ubuntu or other distros as suggested in the previous staff post.
Thanks!
Installing the "Fall Creators Update" on Windows 10 breaks perl for the NT Authority\SYSTEM user. Upgrading from ActivePerl-5.24.1 to ActivePerl-5.24.2 made perl work again for the SYSTEM user. Perl was still working for a regular user even after the "Fall Creators Update". A batch file launched periodically from a windows service running as NT Authority\SYSTEM contains a script.pl line that didn't run anymore after the "Fall Creators Update".
What would be a quicker/smarter way to fix perl for the SYSTEM user rather than running an ActivePerl installer?
Note that the original/spring "Creators Update" also broke perl in the same way. Upgrading from ActivePerl-5.20.2 to ActivePerl-5.24.1 fixed it then.
When I execute installation file (ActivePerl-5.24.2.2403-MSWin32-x64-403863.exe) after copy files I can see this message (on picture).
The destination folder (C:\Perl64\) is empty.
What is this? Where problems?
Installation process Active Perl 5.22, 5.26 is not succesfull too.
Please, help me.

Due to a problem on the main docs site, the 2402 version of the Release Notes is still the latest available.
You can see the latest version in the documentation inside the ActivePerl 2403 version. For those who can't install it, here is the list of changes between 2402 and 2403:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ActivePerl 5.24 Change Log
For the latest information on ActivePerl, please see:
http://www.ActiveState.com/ActivePerl/
Build 2403, August 2017
Build 2403 is based on Perl 5.24.2 plus additional selected changes.
Bug Fixes and Changes since build 2204
- The version of OpenSSL used by the following modules has been upgraded to version 1.1.0f. For more information on this version, visit https://www.openssl.org/news/openssl-1.1.0-notes.html
IO-Socket-SSL 2.050 (was 2.040)
Net-SSLeay 1.81 (was 1.78)
- The following other C libraries have been updated.
expat 2.2.4 (was 2.2.0) (GD, XML-Parser)
libpng 1.6.30 (was 1.6.26) (GD)
fontconfig 2.12.4 (was 2.12.1) (GD)
libgd 2.2.4 (was 2.2.3) (GD)
postgresql client 9.6.3 (DBD::Pg)
zlib 1.2.11 (was 1.2.8) (Compress-Raw-Zlib, Devel-NYTProf, GD, Net-SSLeay)
- Most bundled modules have been updated to their latest released version from CPAN. Use the ppm query command to check the exact version included in this release.
The documentation mentions a zip bundle that can be used by non-Adminstrators for
installation on Windows. I could not find such a zip bundle.
Furthermore I fail to install or extract ActivePerl headless. According to the documentation
there should be options /extract:Folder and /exenoui. But /exenoui does not hide the progress
bar for me! And /extract:Folder does not extract to "Folder" but to a cryptic named
directory "BDFHFH"!
Can you please help?
Hi there,
I have installed the ActivePerl v5.24 on my OSX 10.13.3 High sierra.
Also added to .batch_profile in my home directory:
When I do command: perl --version -> I get v5.18.2 that I think is Macs build in perl.
When I do command: ppm --version -> I get "-bash: ppm: command not found"
Am I missing some vital information how to get this to work ?
Would love to get some assistance on the this case.
Thanks
Ken
Hello,
If we need to install ActivePerl on Windows 10 to run a Perl script to parse the data and export it to a CSV file (The data is obtained from another tool NMAP and is related to the production servers; the perl script is NOT run on the servers), can we use community edition or does it require business edition?
Regards,
Bezek
I can't get the current build to complete installation on WS 2012 R2. It seems to stall at the very end with 'Status: Extracting files from archive.' I've given it 15 or 20 minutes to complete from this point with no success.
First time it just hung and cancelling had no effect. I had to kill the process.
Second try it stalled and I was able to cancel. It rolled back successfully.
Third try, same result.
Any ideas why this might be happening?
