You may first need to `cpan XML::API::XHTML`, and install Tidy using your favorite package manager, or just [download Tidy by itself](http://tidy.sourceforge.net/#binaries) ### If you can't install XML::API::XHTML On my system, CPAN complained that "make test had returned bad status" during installation of XML::API::XHTML. To solve this I started the CPAN shell (just type `cpan`) and then forced the install, like this: cpan> force XML::API::XHTML

The problem is that ActivePerl's PPM points to ActivePerl's package repository, which doesn't contain every module listed on CPAN. The solution is to invoke the cpan utility under windows! Here's how.
