I tried all the following ways to install PP via PPM on Windows. But unable to install it.
ppm install pp
Error: Installing package 'pp'...
Error: installing package 'pp': Could not locate a PPD file for package pp
Kindly someone help to install, I have to create exe file from .pl file.
ActiveState doesn't come with a sensible build environment, you have to install it:
ppm install MinGW
Once completed install pp:
cpanm pp
Or to save your time/sanity use Strawberry Perl over ActiveState, since it comes with a sensible build environment out of the box.

Getting an exception while installing Perl package through below command. Running Perl 5.26 on Windows 10.
ppm install GD-Graph3d
ppm.bat install failed: Can't find any package that provides GD-Graph3d
The ActiveState build for GD::Graph3d fails since Perl 5.24. See also the patch that ActiveState try to apply. Maybe you can install the module by using the cpan tool instead?
cpan GD::Graph3d
How can I install XML::LibXML Perl module on ActiveState Perl Version 5.6.1 build 629?
Here what I tried:
D:\Users\abc>ppm install XML::LibXML
Installing package 'XML-LibXML'...
Error installing package 'XML-LibXML': Could not locate a PPD file for package XML-LibXML
And other way:
D:\Users\abc\Downloads\XML-LibXML-2.0014\XML-LibXML-2.0014>perl Makefile.PL
Couldn't find your C compiler
Compilation failed in require at Makefile.PL line 83.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 83.
Maybe your ppm package manager is not able to find a correct package to your perl version.
You could try to find and install like one this. Maybe one of them works for you.
ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/XML-LibXML.ppd
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/XML-LibXML.ppd
ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/XML-LibXML.ppd
ppm install http://ppm.tcool.org/archives/XML-LibXML.ppd
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/XML-LibXML.ppd
Howto add a new repo too ppm: http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppmdir.html
I installed the CPAN version of PPM on my machine;
Downloaded the PPM-2.1.8.tar.gz source, extracted the files, made cd into the unpacked directory, and run
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake install
But the nmake was not installed on my machine so I installed it.
After this, I able to install XML-LibXML from the uwinnipeg 5.6 repository by issuing the command
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/XML-LibXML.ppd
It also installed the prerequisite ppm packages, as well as the required libxml2.dll library in the environment variable PATH.
I need to install Win32-GuiTest. I downloaded the package from http://sourceforge.net/projects/winguitest/, but when I try to run
PPM> install C:\temp\win32-guitest.ppd
it is saying
ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform
Can anybody tell how to install a module or package in Perl in Windows?
As of now, ActiveState isn't able to build Win32-GuiTest for stable releases of Perl. Add the Bribes repository instead, instructions are there.
When ever I try to cpanp install Text::Markdown::Discount on Strawberry Perl I get
cp lib/Text/Markdown/Discount.pm blib\lib\Text\Markdown\Discount.pm
( cd discount-2.1.2; CC='cc -fPIC' sh configure.sh; make )
The system cannot find the path specified.
I see a lot of others are having this same problem. Can T:M:D be installed on Strawberry Perl?
You also can not install T:M:D with ppm:
PPM> install Text::Markdown::Discount
Install package 'Text-Markdown-Discount?' (y/N): y
Installing package 'Text-Markdown-Discount'...
Error installing package 'Text-Markdown-Discount': Could not locate a PPD file f
or package Text-Markdown-Discount
I installed Text::Markdown::Discount with these steps:
git clone https://github.com/sekimura/text-markdown-discount.git
cd text-markdown-discount/
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
sudo make install
I was using TK::Icon with Perl 5.8.3 32bit, but it's not supported with Perl 5.10.1 64bit. When I try to install it through ppm, I get:
C:>ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Tk-Icon.ppd
ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this
platform
Is there any other way to do it?
As Alexandr suggested, I asked J-L from bribes.org to build the module for Perl64bit and he did so.
So now the icon can be set with TK::Icon also on Perl 64bit.
The ppm install command is:
ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm64/Tk-Icon.ppd
