Hi Natalie. The other versions of ActivePerl will not let TPP install, at least not the three different versions I tried yesterday including 5.8.9.827. All came up with the message described in your email. If they have worked fine for other installs, what have I managed to do wrong? The process seems fairly idiotproof.

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. -Natalie On 3/8/10 4:55 PM, Matt Padula wrote: 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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spctools-discuss" group.
