Problems installing Perl 5.36.3 on Windows 11

Perl

Greetings. I am trying to install Perl on Windows 11. I’ve followed the instructions provided, and after executing the state checkout command I get the following error:
Setting Up Runtime
Resolving Dependencies :heavy_check_mark: Done
Downloading 95/95
Installing \ 94/95 [=====================================>] 99 %

█ Something Went Wrong

x Could not checkout this project
x Could not update runtime installation
x Error setting up runtime

Additional info: I’m using a VPN, could this be the problem?
Thanks in advance!

UPDATE:
It created a folder with a file named activestate.yaml in it and nothing else, and trying to run the command again results in:
x There is already a project checked out at ‘C:\Coding\Perl-5.36.3-Windows’.

Now, when I try to run the next command, which is trying to use my runtime, it offers me several choices of “project paths”, and none of them work:

Multiple project paths for the selected project were found. Please select one.

C:\Coding
> C:\Coding\Perl-5.36.3-Windows
C:\Users\George
C:\Windows\System32

█ Need More Help?
• Run → state use --help for general help
• If this is a private project you may need to authenticate with ‘state auth’
• Ask For Help → State Tool - ActiveState Community

I’m really not sure what’s happening here and I’m hoping someone else does :'D

UPDATE 2:
I realised that .yaml file is the project (while setting up activepython) and that the command should set this project as the main one. now the question is: why can’t it do that?
I apologise for this many edits, don’t know if it’s allowed here :sweat_smile:

Edit 2: it’s fixed!

delete your folder on your system (Perl-5.36.3-Windows or Perl-5.36.3-Windows1) then run it again and it should work!

edit: disregard original message below we found the issue!

working to find you a working project as a temporary work around as we may be unable to fix your project quickly due to the holday

Are you using ActiveState or ActiveState

can you please run

state config set optin.unstable true

then run

set VERBOSE=true

then run

state refresh

and set the debug information here?
