    Edit the following line in the RRDs.ppd file to match the installed version of ActivePerl:


    For example,"perl -v" returns the following Perl version: v5.16.1
    Replace the "5.10" with "5.16" in the RRDs.ppl, so the line now reads:


    At this point, "ppm install RRDs.ppd" command should complete successfully.

    To cholegm, and anyone else getting the error mentioned above:
    This is caused by running the wrong version of Perl.

    Type perl -v to see which version you are running.
