Perl-5.8-win32-bin-0.8.exe installation fails

[Unknown Poster]

I've tried using the default the install program uses (which is
windows\temp for some strange reason) or creating a new directory for
the top-level. Either way, when I reach the "Configure" window, the
"Perl directory:" and "Apache2 directory:" textboxes are already
filled in as "..PERL/BIN". When I click the "Configure" button, this
error box appears:

"Perl configuation failed

! Please give the top-level Perl directory."


?

Please give more information: What is your platform (Windoze what?),
and whose Perl distribution is it? Sounds like it might be
apache.org's. If so, did you do what it says to do in
Perl-5.8-win32-bin-0.8.readme ?

It's the Apache Win32 binary with Perl, mod_perl, etc. I'm using
Windows ME.

The readme file at http://www.reverse.net/pub/apache/perl/win32-bin/Perl-5.8-win32-bin-0.8.readme
really isn't much help because it just states what it supposed to
happen,
rather that what to do to install and configure it.
