To be honest, I don't know too much about Perl. However, to make the best weblog system work - Movable Type, I installed Perl onto my Windows XP machine from scretch. I believe I am not alone to install MT to Windows XP machines - although I believe there will not be too many people doing so - so I'd like to record the steps for other's reference. It is also a good resource for myself if I need to rebuild the server.

Download ActivePerl for Windows XP from ActiveState. At the time I downloaed, the version was ActivePerl 5.6.1 build 633.

Install the MSI package. There is no any problem during the installation. I accepted all the defaul settings expect changing the default location from c:\Perl to c:\Program Files\Perl. I believe it is always good to follow the Windows convension instead of seeking for a place in root directory of C:\. This makes the disk hard More
I got ROSS's email on DB_File Error this morning.
Hi Jian Shuo,
I have seen your instructions for installing Moveable Type on Windows XP and have come across a problem. I have followed the instructions exactly but when I try and install DB_File, I get the error:
PPM> Install DB_File
Install package 'DB_File?' (y/N): Y
Installing package 'DB_File'...
Error installing package 'DB_File': Read a PPD for 'DB_File', but it is not inte
nded for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)
PPM> QUIT
when I run /mt/mt-check.cgi it tells me
DB_File...
Your server does not have DB_File installed. DB_File is
required if you want to use the Berkeley DB/DB_File backend.
Please consult the installation instructions for help in
installing DB_File.
and when I run /mt/mt-load.cgi it says:
Loading initial data into system...
An error occurred while loading data:
Unsupported driver MT::ObjectDriver::DBM: Can't locate DB_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mt\extlib More
I got a short notice from my ISP (CompanyCN.com) that the server has to change its IP address and I will update my DNS record (hosted at www.net.cn) to the new IP address. Since these two actions may not be synchronized, a short period of service pause from this site may occure in the next few days. Sorry for that. (I hope they don't lose any comments posted here.)

J'ai obtenu une notification courte de mon ISP (CompanyCN.com) que le serveur doit changer son IP address et je mettrai mon disque de DNS (accueilli chez www.net.cn) au nouvel IP address. Puisque ces deux actions ne peuvent être synchronisées, une période courte de pause de service de cet emplacement peut occure en jours à venir. Désolé pour cela. (Espoir d'I ils ne perdent aucun commentaire signalé ici.)
