Hi Mike,

This is due to some 'old' binaries hanging around. Look here:

http://community.activestate.com/node/7440

and also

http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.10/install.html

If you must uninstall ActivePerl manually, delete the Perl directory, including all sub-directories, and the following registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ActiveState/ActivePerl
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ActiveState/PerlScript
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall/ActivePerl

So, what I would recommend is:
- uninstall all activestate Perls you still have, including the last you
installed
- remove the Perl directory.
- then reinstall latest Activestate Perl

tell me if this helps.

best
