When I install Win32::GUIRobot the dependency for Prima gets installed
as well or so it says:

C:\Perl> ppm install Win32-GUIRobot
Downloading trouchelle packlist...not modified
Downloading Win32-GUIRobot-0.05...done
Downloading Prima-1.26...done
Unpacking Win32-GUIRobot-0.05...done
Unpacking Prima-1.26...done
Generating HTML for Win32-GUIRobot-0.05...done
Updating files in site area...done
   2 files installed


So getting the following after the install seems odd:
C:\Perl> perl -MWin32::GUIRobot
Can't locate Prima.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib
C:/Perl/lib .) at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/GUIRobot.pm line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/GUIRobot.pm line 7.
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.


A Windows search on C:\Perl is unable to find Prima.pm either.

Out of curiosity I looked at
http://trouchelle.com/perl/ppmrepview.pl?l=prima&v=10 which showed
that the Prima build failed but
http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.10/1000/K/KA/KARASIK/Image-Match-1.02.d/log-200906
13T221146.txt
seems ok - I haven’t had time to look at Randy's ppm (although I've
added his repository).

Prima is very troublesome to install by the source or binary for that
matter (problems with MSVCR80.dll not being found even though theres a
manifest and my Path has been appended . . . so could someone help fix
what seems to be a phantom ppd/module and ensure that all the jpeg and
png references are linked up (as in Prima-codecs which does install
from ppm)?

I'll devote some more time into looking at it tomorrow, but thought
I'd post first in the hope of some pointers.

Cheers,

Just in
