ActivePerl for Windows 5.8.8, EN. ActivePerl for Windows is the youngest Perl Binary version for Windows by ActiveSate. The installation pack bundles setup files for the Perl scripting language (versions 5.16, 5.14, 5.12, 5.10, 5.8, 5.6), alongside a few useful plugins, such as Perl ISAPI (Internet Information. Oct 15, 2006 Thanks, kwj. Destruction derby games. That indeed did work out. I thought that this problem could be overcome by using Add/Install New Programs, but obviously that does not do the trick. Download and install Perl with ActivePerl, precompiled distributions for Perl 5.28 and 5.26. ActivePerl Community Edition is free to use in development.
My problem is that I want to install the package libgtk-perl on ubuntu but it fails due to its unmet dependencies i.e perlapi-5.8.8, I have also tried doing auto dependency installation but that also fails. The problem is that it is a virtual package and even though perl-base is installed (As shown in the instructions) perlapi can't be installed. Please can anyone help me installing perlapu-5.8.8

You're trying to use Perl package Gtk. In order to do that, you're trying to install a binary that was built using Perl 5.8.8, which would require you switching to Perl 5.8.8 (or 5.8.9). Aside from being a major step backwards, you can't do what you want without breaking your system. Switching your Perl for Perl 5.8.8 would cause problems.
If your system doesn't provide a package for the Perl module Gtk for your version of Perl, install it yourself as follows (after installing the necessary C libraries):
ikegami
