This problem seems to come up often. In the past year I have installed Perl twice and both times have had errors. In both cases I never had Perl installed or I was installing off a fresh format and windows reinstall.
The first time I installed Perl 5.8.9 and it gave me errors. So I uninstalled, deleted and reinstalled with 5.10.0. That didn't work so I went to 5.8.8 and that worked.
The second time I installed 5.10.0 and that didn't work. Did 5.8.8 and that didn't work. Did 5.8.9 and that worked.
On my other computer I did 5.10.0 and that worked on the first attempt.
So what gives? What is with the random success rate on version X.X.X?
