    Hi,

    I have been trying to instal the String::CRC32 module, but so far have been
    unsucessful.

    I am running ActiveState Perl 5,8,1,807 on Win XP.

    I have attempted to install using the ppm3 tool, however this is unable to
    find the package in any of the installed repositories (2 at ActiveState, 1
    at uwinnipeg.ca & 1 at roth.net)

    I have also attempted manual instalation by downloading
    String-CRC32-1.2.tar.gz . Follwoing the README perl Makefile.PL runs fine,
    but running make returns error
        makefile:340: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.
     I have tried using Cygwin's & WinGW's make as wel as MS nmake (as packaged
    with MS VC++ 6) - they all return the same error.

    I'd be really grateful if anyone could offer a bit of advice on how to
    resolve my problem.

    Cheers,
    Andy.

    PS Peculiar thing is I am sure I had previously installed this package using ppm3
    without hassles some months back (same ver of ActivePerl), but following a
    rebuild of PC I'm snookered :(
