Hi,
Had a chance for a better look at this.
The t/10-parl-generation tests will always fail if you are installing using the
downloadable PAR dist. (PAR-Packer-0.976-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.8.par),
so that failure can be ignored.
Your Config (dependent on version of ActivePerl) causes scripts & execs to be installed in
C:\Perl\site\bin
You need this on your path - which it doesn't seem to be.
I think the site/bin issue is solved in recent ActivePerl releases - either
Config.pm is changed or MSI puts c:\Perl\Site|bin on your path (or both).
So putting C:\Perl\site\bin on your path will mean that 'pp' can be run.
Whether it works or not is another matter. That will depend on your ActivePerl
build.
My guess is that PAR-Packer-0.976-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.8.par will
probably work with ActivePerl builds 820 and 822 but almost certainly won't
work with earlier releases.
Regards
Mark

this using Perl Package Manager on ActivePerl with version 0.976. Didnt
work. Now I'm trying to install version 0.976 using nmake. Here is the
