I see that in the current TPP (4.3.1) installer, we say " TPP requires
ActivePerl version 5.8.8 or 5.10.x (available for free ActiveState, but
we are not allowed to distribute it directly). Please install ActivePerl
from [... ] and try the TPP installer again." However I see that the
links we gave for ActiveState pointed to specific versions of Perl. We
don't have any control over the ActiveState website, so the link
shouldn't be so specific and we should just point to the top of the
ActiveState website and let the user find the perl downloads
themselves. This was probably a case of trying to be helpful (by
pointing to then-current Perl downloads directly) and then getting
bitten by changes in an external website.
Thanks for pointing this out and we'll change the link for future
releases. For now, the text of the message remains true: any recent 5.8
(5.8.8 or greater) or 5.10.x version will work fine.

Hi all. I have tried to install TPP on a different computer in the
lab. On searching ActiveState's website for the required version of
ActivePerl, I have discovered that it is no longer available. A quick
search with Google for an alternative source of the installer has
turned up nothing. Would anyone be able to direct me to a source?
Version 5.8.9.827 does not work with the installer.
With the publication of the papers recently, I think a few more people
will be needing this.
