Install perl Template-Toolkit for bugzilla on windows

Question

Im attempting to install Bugzilla on my local development server (based on a windows machine). My server is the standard xampp install. Ive got to the point where i need to install the relevant perl modules but one of them (Template-Toolkit) does not seem to be recognised. I originally attempted to install it via ppm, but on running bugzillas checksetup file, at the very end i get the following message:

COMMANDS TO INSTALL REQUIRED MODULES (You *must* run all these commands
and then re-run this script):

    ppm install Template-Toolkit
*** Installation aborted. Read the messages above. ***

but ive already run ppm install Template-Toolkit and it worked with no apparent errors. After seeing another post on here, i tried the the CPAN bugzilla bundle:

cpan Bundle::Bugzilla

but again, no luck. Is there anything else i can try to get this installed?

im using windows 7 pro 64bit and perl 5.10.1 (that came with the xampp install)

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

xampp installs Perl 5.10.1, but Bugzilla only works with 5.8.1

Answer 2

You need to install Template: ppm install Template.

P.S. Strawberry Perl is easier to use on Windows.

Answer 3

I have Activeperl version 5.20.1 installed separately from xampp. And I am getting the following error when accessing bugzilla:

Software error:

Template creation failed: failed to create context: failed to load Bugzilla/Template/Context.pm: Can't locate Bugzilla/Template/Context.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Bugzilla::Template::Context module) (@INC contains: . lib C:/Perl64/site/lib C:/Perl64/lib) at C:/Perl64/site/lib/Template/Config.pm line 82.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (postmaster@localhost), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

How do I resolve this error so that I can install the template-Toolkit package for bugzilla?
