| Hi All
I'm sorry to be so dum girl BUT
I have been advised that I want Active State Perl
http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/?psbx=1
to run on my WinXp Pro computer With Apache2
I have been to the Active state Perl site and I'm more  to what I want for WinXp
Pro.
I think this is the one
ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120.msi
Also I was informed that I wanted imagemagick also inside this is a PerlMagick
http://studio.imagemagick.org/scrip...ses.php#windows
BUT which one do I need for my system
Any help for a dum Girl
Thank you
Jane

That one should do fine.

Assuming you want to use Image::Magick from Perl, you should use
ppm (Perl Package Manager) to install the Image::Magick module
once you have ActiveState Perl installed. Just issue:
ppm
at a command prompt and then type
install image-magick
The executables on the imagemagick web site will install
standalone Imagemagick. If that is what you want, fine.
Caveat: Although I have Image::Magick installed, I'm not an
Imagemagick user.

I have a problem with the above like
Cmd
ppm
Does nothing just brings me back to the c: root
BUT if I type ppm3.bat then it brings me to the ppm prompt
Is that the same as ppm?

When I installed them a couple of months ago, there was an option to
install the module in addition to the standalone utilities. It
worked, but for some strange reason, I had to run through the
installer twice to be able to use the module.

Hmmmmmmmm now that brings me to my fault that I had when I installed the imagemagick
There was a tick box to install perlmagick BUT when I looked in the perl folder it was not
installed and comes back with a error when I run a perl script use Image::Magick.
So do not know what I have done wrong with the install.
Stuck now

If you haven't done so already, try running the installer a second
time. The second time worked for me on both my laptop and the desktop
that I was installing Imagemagick on.
Or, try the other poster's suggestion of using ppm directly.

No I have not done that.
Did you just install over the top of the first install?

Did you see my post to him about ppm?
It will do nothing when I put that in from the command prompt.
It just comes back to the c:\ prompt
BUT if I put in ppm3.bat it brings up the ppm prompt
Very strange

Hmmmm...if I recall correctly, one gets that symptom if one
installs ActiveState Perl version 5.8.x over top of ActiveState
Perl version 5.6.x. Did you perhaps do that? Try uninstalling
whatever Perl installations you have, deleting all the c:\perl
hierarchy, and reinstall Perl. When it is done, fire up a new
command window (and, depending on your version of Windoze [I
recall you saying XP], log out/in or reboot -- whatever it takes
to get the updated environment variable information in your
command interpreter session), and ppm should work normally.
HTH.

Yes, I just ran it right on top of the previous attempt.
