I get request to follow links to compile a few missing builds, it then downloads them and processes them with the current processes if i click yes.

Using 59perl and Malignus Wingnut's Setups
followed all directions, perl setup didnt go as he said it should, but i thought it was installed after a little work in the command prompt.
