Any pointers to resolving following would be appreciated.
On Win 2012 R2 server:
PS C:\resources\perl\installer> state activate --default JustType/Perl-5.36.0-Windows
Something Went Wrong
────────────────────
x Failed to start state-svc at state tool invocation
x Request for service HTTP address failed
Win 2012 R2 server ← is the problem.
Windows 2012 is not supported for the State Tool. Servers in general are not good candidates to run the State Tool on.
State Tool should be run from a desktop. For Windows versions 10 20H1 and higher or 11.
To install onto a server, you either need to do a two-step process that moves the runtime from the desktop to the server,
or you need an offline installer.
