I've installed the latest ActivePerl 5.10.0.1003 from ActiveState onto my Windows XP Pro 2003 SP3 system. I downloaded a perl package that needs six additional packages installed into ActivePerl, so I used its Perl Package Manager to install them. Five of them installed just fine; only Apache-LogRegex gives a problem: =========== Installing package ... Downloading Apache-LogRegex-1.4 ... done Unpacking Apache-LogRegex-1.4 ... failed ERROR: Can't extract files from C:\DOCUME~1\GREG~1.GRE\LOCALS~1\Temp\ppm-Q8tDNT/Apache-LogRegex-1.4.tgz =========== Note that the filetype shows as ".tgz" rather than the ".tar.gzip" that I'd expect. PERHAPS that's what causes the extraction problem, but it could be something else. There are no cluses as to what the problem was; "can't extract files" doesn't say much. The Package Manager "details" tab indicates the package download source is http://search.cpan.org/dist/Apache-LogRegex-1.4, which seems correct. When I follow that link and download directly, it downloads as the expected ".tar.gzip" extensions. Anybody know what might be wrong? Or can anyone tell me how I can download and install the package under ActivePerl manually to circumvent this issue? Thanks, Greg
