| - | - Install whatever libraries are required by the converter using your distribution's package manager. If you're using Windows, I recommend [[http://strawberryperl.com/|Strawberry Perl]] over ActiveState's [[http://www.activestate.com/Products/activeperl/index.mhtml|ActivePerl]]. It is much easier to use, at least for me, and everything works. I had problems creating the standalone distributions using ActivePerl. Windows users will need PAR::Packer 0.981 or later, if it exists by now at CPAN, or the latest trunk (revision 656 works fine) from [[http://svn.openfoundry.org/par/PAR-Packer/trunk/|its SVN repository]]. Please do **not** use the 0.980 version from CPAN if you're in Windows: it had a bug which made installing it impossible for most Windows users. | + | - Install whatever libraries are required by the converter using your distribution's package manager.
