About this site

This repository contains prebuilt Win32 ppm packages for ActivePerl 5.8.x. Each package is built with ActivePerl 5.8.7 (build 815) and MSVC++ 6 (or gcc 3.4.2, if necessary) on Win2K.

The maintainer is Kenichi Ishigaki. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any comments or requests (see also About me page).

CAUTIONS

Note that this repository doesn't support ActivePerl 5.10 series right now. Don't try to install 5.8 binary packages over your 5.10. Many of them happen to work, but XS modules won't, and mixing packages for different versions will cause annoying malfunctions. You've been warned :)

5.10 repository is under way, but if you just want to use perl anyway, I recommend to downgrade it first to more stable perl 5.8.8.
