After uninstalling ActiveState I've been getting this weird error when trying to execute "perl" from the command prompt.
The program can't start because cygssp-o.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
After uninstalling ActiveState, I tried to install Strawberry Perl, I've even cleaned my SYSTEM path to only include Strawberry Perl.
However, this message still comes up when I try to execute the following command
perl
The only way to fix it is to reinstall ActiveState.
Any idea what's wrong? I tried to search that error and it doesn't seem to be very popular.
The fact that perl is looking for cygssp-o.dll means you must have a Cygwin perl somewhere on your path.
You can examine your path, and remove references to Cygwin or just move the Strawberry Perl bin directory ahead of it.
