What might I be missing?


It's hard to say for sure, but are you sure you installed PAR? If
you aren't sure, this command will install it for you (it will let you
know if it's already installed):

ppm install PAR

If it complains that the Module::ScanDeps module is missing, you can
easily install it with the command:

ppm install Module-ScanDeps

Once installation is successful, see if you can compile scripts. If
you still can't, I would think that the "pp.bat" file you need isn't in
your %PATH% environment variable.

To verify this, go to your Perl's bin directory (it might be
"C:\Perl\bin") and look for a file named "pp.bat". Is it there? If it
is, then you probably don't have the Perl bin directory in your %PATH%.
Type "echo %PATH%" to see the directories in your path to verify that
the directory is indeed not in your path. If it really isn't in your
path, then you must add it. There are different ways of adding it to
your path (some of which depend on your flavor of Windows), so you
don't know how to do it, you'll have to search around and see how to do
it for your particular OS.

If, on the other hand, the "pp.bat" file isn't in Perl's bin
directory, then PAR probably didn't install correctly. You might want
to "Search" your hard drive(s) for the "pp.bat" file in case it was
copied to the wrong place.

It's kind of hard to troubleshoot this problem remotely, so this is
all the advice I can give you for now. I hope it helps.
