I've just installed Perl 5.26 x64 under Windows 10.
The command below causes an error:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
Error is: Can't located Win32::Console
Please help

Try running `cpan Win32::Console` before running `perl -MCPAN -e shell`. – stevieb Sep 11 '19 at 23:15

Or `ppm install Win32-Console` since you said you're using ActiveState – jimtut Sep 12 '19 at 00:59

hmmm, doesn't Win32::Console come with ActivePerl? – ikegami Sep 12 '19 at 06:36

(And I seriously doubt the message you got was "`Can't located Win32::Console`") – ikegami Sep 12 '19 at 06:37

Try running cpan Win32::Console - I did - it show same error – user3424840 Sep 12 '19 at 23:24

ppm install Win32-Console - can not find ppm - it does not come with v.5.26 - but I did use it in previous version of Perl. Now it is gone... – user3424840 Sep 12 '19 at 23:26

Win32::Console come with ActivePerl - It should come - but since I've installed Perl x64 - probably it should not use win32? – user3424840 Sep 12 '19 at 23:27

Exact error message is Can't locate Win32::Console.pm (you may need to install win32::Console.pm) But how to install it ? – user3424840 Sep 12 '19 at 23:30

Try running just 'cpan', since it is first insatallation it wil install 'MimGW' and other thing. After than install any module – rai-gaurav Sep 14 '19 at 08:32

1This is because, strawberry perl already contains Win32 module in it. Download link - http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html – Rohit Gaikwad May 28 '20 at 13:46

Had similar problem, solved by commenting lines 395-413 with # in
c:\Perl64\site\lib\ActivePerl\Config.pm
They are lines in function _warn under line
# Prevent calling Win32::Console::DESTROY on a STDOUT handle
I have found this solution on https://www.programmersought.com/article/93215566461/
