<div dir="ltr">I don't have much experience with Perl on Windows (whether it's ActiveState or Strawberry), so I can only offer up some alternative sources for guidance. It seems that 5.18.1.1 is a few years old, so maybe downloading and installing a newer version. It appears 5.24.0.1 is the most recent.

<br>
After a few years doing no Perl, I'm attempting it again. Unfortunately Perl has migrated away from what little I knew. And I am an Olympic contender representing my country in memory loss. (My memory loss - not my laptop)<br>
<br>
I have: Windows 7, Strawberry Perl 5.18.1.1<br>
<br>
I tried to install Image::Size from cpan. It wouldn't.<br>
I tried to install File::Copy. It wouldn't. But it suggested:<br>
cpan> install R/RJ/RJBS/perl-5.24.0.tar.gz<br>
It wouldn't do that either.<br>
<br>
Am stuck. Please suggest.<br>
<br>
