in thread installing correct Par::Packer on ActivePerl 5.12.2

I tried several times to switch to Strawberry Perl. But installing modules such as DBD::Mysql became a daunting task for me and I never succeeded. It always failed this test or that test and even "force install" does not help. How do you resolve module installation problem using Strawberry? I was using CPAN module that comes together with Strawberry. But since you are using strawberry happily, there must be some tricks I donot know. Would you like to share some tips? Thank you, Xingliang
