I still cannot install PAR 0.85 in Windows XP Pro, perl v5.8.4.
I have the prebuilt binary
07/03/2004 09:03 AM 876,426 PAR-0.85-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.4.par
I did nmake clean, then switched to a cygwin box (for the unzip function) and did
$ unzip PAR-0.85-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.4.par
Be aware that "nmake clean" wipes out
script/parl.exe
script/parldyn.exe
so the prebuilt binary needs unzipped again after an nmake clean.
Anyway, I then switched back to the Windows command prompt and did
C:\Documents and Settings\malcolm\My Documents\temp\PAR-0.85\PAR>perl Makefile.PL
