Does anyone knows how to install the Time::HiRes Module?

Hi,

I've installed Active Perl 5.6.1.638 for MSWin32-x86. Then I
tried to install the 'Time::HiRes' Package, but encounter following
error:
"Error installing package 'Time-HiRes': Read a PPD for 'Time-HiRes',
but it is not intended for this build of Perl(MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)"

Does anyone know how to get it fixed?

Thanks,

Matt Mitchell

Looks like it doesn't work on Windows...

No, it works ok on windows - I think the problem lies with the ppm
configuration - but I'm not sure.

What does 'ppm set' produce ?

(Incidentally, Time::HiRes is included with the 5.8 builds of Active Perl .)

Cheers,
Rob

Well, it works fine with Cygwin, even installing a new version in
the cpan shell works flawlessly. I haven't regretted once that I
threw out ActivePerl and installed Cygwin perl.

Hi, all

'ppm set' get the following output:

C:\ccviews\my_view5\wpa_decode\Decode\wo
rk>ppm set
Commands will be confirmed.
Temporary files will be deleted.
Download status will be updated every 16384 bytes.
Case-insensitive searches will be performed.
Package installations will continue if a dependency cannot be installed.
Tracing info will not be written.
Screens will pause after 24 lines.
Query/search results will be verbose.
Current PPD repository paths:
ActiveState Package Repository:
http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/pp
mserver.pl?urn:/PPMServer
Packages will be built under: C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp
HTML documentation will not be rebuilt after installing each package.

BTW, I've also tried "ActivePerl-5.8.6.811-MSWin32-x86-122208" but have
the same problem on Windows XP.

Thanks a lot

That error means it found a ppd file in the repository
list you have, but it didn't correspond to your version
of Perl. As Rob mentioned in another reply, Time::HiRes
is available with recent ActivePerl 8xx builds - to verify,
C:\> perl -MTime::HiRes -e "print 1"
shouldn't produce an error. If you have a Perl without
Time::HiRes, or want to upgrade your version,
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/Time-HiRes
lists some repositories that have Time-HiRes ppm packages.

Yeah - but it looks to me that it *should* have corresponded.
The following is the 5.6 ppm server (I think):
http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/P...?urn:/PPMServer

Besides, since Time::HiRes ships with 5.8, they probably don't have a
ppm for 5.8.

Then again that proxy/firewall problem I referred to usually has
different symptoms to the ones reported, doesn't it ?

So ... dunno .... could be wrong ... often am :-)

Cheers,
Rob

Hi all,

Thank you all for the information. I got Active Perl 5.8.6 reinstalled
and it works fine.

Thanks again,
Jianhui
