ReadKey compile error

[Peter_W_Levine]

Hi,
I am using Perl 5.6.1 (ActivePerl Build 638) on Windows XP.

I tried a test of ReadKey and get the error: 'The application failed
because perl58.dll was not found. Time to upgrade?

Looks like you've installed a ppm (binary) package that was built fpr perl
5.8 - though I'm a little puzzled as to how that was achieved.

If you're running perl 5.6, you need to install ppm packages that have been
built for perl 5.6.
