Jan,

 

I knew that there was no GUI for the 64-bit version, but I was unaware
that pai.exe was the GUI interface.  When executing the binaries I was
expecting to see some time of text based usage output (like perlapp
does), instead of just an error and exiting.  The tools with -help works
as expected.

 

Thanks for the quick response,

 

--Joel

The 64 bit versions don't include the GUI, only the command line tools.

 

You can install 32-bit ActivePerl and PDK on a 64-bit system if you just
want to use the GUI to become more familiar with all the command line
options, but you can only run the 64-bit tools from the command line
yourself.

 

We will include GUIs in the 64-bit PDK once we support the Tkx module in
64-bit ActivePerl.

 

Cheers,

-Jan

I have the 7.0 Beta 3 (which is really 6.9.92.275147-Beta-64) PDK
installed on an AMD 64 system.   I do not seem to have pai.exe (normally
located in bin\lib) installed and therefore perlctrl, perlsvc, and
perltray refuse to run.  What's going on?
