missing manual: MovableType and perl on WIN32

MovableType Successfully Installed on Windows XP

To be honest, I don’t know too much about Perl. However, to make the best weblog system work – Movable Type, I installed Perl onto my Windows XP machine from scratch.

Well, I got nowhere with this. I apparently need to install Berkeley DB or the perl library that enables that functionality (DB_File) but can’t do it. ActiveState has a library management tool (ppm) that works for some libraries — every one but this one, as far as I can tell. I even downgraded from 5.8 to 5.6.1, as I read someone suggest would work. No joy.

So I guess I’ll do this on OS X instead. I already have a name for my work weblog or knowledge log: administrivia. It will likely be UW only, though.
