Install OLE::Storage_lite on Win32 1

[TommyIndigo]

I am using PPM to install OLE-Storage lite, however I receive the error:


Error installing package 'OLE-Storage_lite': Read a PPD for 'OLE-Storage_lite', but it is not intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)


I have previously used PPM to install other packages, including IO::Stringy, which is used by OLE-Storage_lite.

Any suggestions?

is it a 64 bit ppd you're installing, where did you get the ppd from?

I'm new to PPM, but I believe it is using the default Active State path (I'm not pointing to a specific PPD locally). I assumed ppm would attempt to install the correct flavor of the package's PPD.

At the ppm> prompt, I typed:

install OLE-Storage_lite

...and then received the error message I posted.

Works fine for me straight off, have you tried cpan?

alternatively download the .ppd file to a local directory, and install

C:\Docs and Settings\PaulTEG> ppm install Ole-Storage_lite.ppd

Paul,

Thanks for your replies. I upgraded my core Perl installation to 5.8.8 (from 5.6.1) and that seemed to do the trick, allowing me to install my package effortlessly

Thanks again for your help!
