in thread Puzzling error when using ActivePerl.

The 5.18 repository should be OK. You only have to change to a "newer" repository when changing to a new major version of Perl.

    The problem is that the install presets the repository to http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x64/5.18/1800/package.xml, but that does not exist.

    And according to this page(scroll to bottom), there are currently no repositories available for 5.18.anything on any platform.

      Then you better switch to Strawberry Perl.

        Because I corrected your unresearched "answer" to the OPs question; *I* have to change the version of Perl I use?

        .erk!
