Re: Installing Template::Toolkit on Windows

[afoken]

Smells like ActiveState's Perl. You essentially have two options other then messing around with a wild mix of PPMs provided by ActiveState and others and modules from CPAN:

• Install MinGW via PPM, this is said to give you a working C compiler
• Get rid of ActiveState's Perl and use Strawberry Perl, that comes preconfigured with a working C compiler, linker etc., and behaves as much as a Perl on a Unix system as possible.

I've switched from AS to SP long ago, and never regretted it. I also (ab-)use SP to just get a free, working C compiler and linker for Windows.

Nope, you can't http://code.activestate.com/ppm/MinGW/. Strawberry Perl ships with 64Bit build tools.

For 64-bit ActivePerl you could use http://sourceforge.net/projects/perlmingw/#Citrus GCC (mingw-w64) for Perl or http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/64_gcctoolchain/ # (a mirror)
