Subject: Math::Random::Secure not available with ActivePerl 5.12

Math::Random::Secure is only available on ActivePerl 5.8 and 5.10, but neither on 5.12 nor Windows 64-bits. This e.g. prevents Bugzilla 4.1.1 from being installed on Windows (I use ActivePerl 5.12).

Thanks! The right place to report this would be ActiveState. I don't control their build system and the errors I see on it don't seem to have anything to do with Math::Random::Secure itself. And yes, it is not available on 64-bit Windows. That is due to Win32::API not being available for 64-bit versions of Windows. See this RT ticket: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=55660

Win32::API 0.60, which has been released two weeks ago, has basic support for 64-bit. Isn't that enough for the needs of M::R::S?

That's a good question, I haven't tested it yet. I wrote Math::Random::Secure in such a way that it would continue to work properly when Win32::API *did* support 64-bits, so if the support is there, then M::R::S should be working. It looks like ActiveState just needs to trigger a build again now that there is an updated Win32::API-- the last attempt was with Win32::API 0.59. jdb in #win32 on irc.perl.org is the person to talk to about ActiveState package building.

Okay, I actually just talked to him myself. The packages have been rebuilt successfully for the 64-bit platforms and should show up on the PPM servers within 24 hours. :-)
