PAR-Packer-1.050 Installation Errors

Perl
1

I try installing using the command line:

perl -MCPAN -e “install PAR::Packer”

I have Activestate perl V5.28 installed on Windows 10 pro build 2004.

Getting this when I install it, near the end of the installation. Any clues?

Configuring R/RS/RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.050.tar.gz with Makefile.PL

Installing simply by doing:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install pp

gives me a very similar error:

Configuring R/RS/RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.050.tar.gz with Makefile.PL
fileparse(): need a valid pathname at C:/Perl64/site/lib/ExtUtils/CBuilder/Base.pm line 50.

Anyone have any clues as to whats going on and how to fix it?

Thanks.

"perl -MCPAN "
will not work out of the box with a build generated by The ActiveState Platform.

There’s a post earlier in the forums describing how to use forked projects and custom projects to add modules, which is how The Platform is designed to operate.

PAR-Packer needs to be used with care in any ActivePerl. There is no exemption from the terms of the EULA for using a wrapping tool. You may require an OEM license, or a site-wide Enterprise usage agreement, to comply with the EULA if you use PAR-Packer with ActivePerls.
