It sounds like you probably have a version of ActivePerl < 5.8.8.819. If
this is the case, download and install the latest ActivePerl version >=
5.8.8.819. If you do a reinstall into the same location as your current
ActivePerl installation you will probably maintain all the currently
installed modules - but I can't say for definate.

Once you have ActivePerl >= 5.8.8.819 installed, you should be able to
follow the instructions in the link I provided previously.
