I install ActiveState 5.8.8 on 2 PCs (one running Windows NT4 SP6, the
other
running Windows XP SP2).
In both cases, the "perl Makefile.PL" command fails like this:

D:\Drivers\Perl\CPAN\Net-LDAP-Bundle\perl-ldap-0.33>perl Makefile.PL
Undefined subroutine &ActivePerl::Config::find_prog called at
E:/Perl/site/lib/ActivePerl/Config.pm line 70.

It's a problem with Module::Install and ActivePerl - see the thread "PAR
problems" at http://www.mail-archive.com/par@xxxxxxxx/. Within that thread,
the post (from Jan Dubois) at
http://www.mail-archive.com/par@xxxxxxxx/msg02184.html is probably the most
relevant:

-- quote --
"You need to use Module::Install 0.61 to properly work with
ActivePerl::Config:

http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18181


Or just remove this line from your current Module::Install to check if
updating
Module::Install will fix the PAR issue:

local @INC = ($path, @INC);"
-- end quote --

Although that advice is aimed at getting PAR to build, it should work with
ActiveState perl for *any* Makefile.PL that wants to 'use
inc::Module::Install'.

Cheers,
