Excellent node: ajt++ This is very timely for me, as I have been using ActiveState Perl for hobby projects at home. This was brilliant in the beginning, and I was able to get started very quickly and extend Perl with PPM. However, I'm writing much more of my own stuff now, and I have the C++ compiler, and I am running into trouble when I try and build modules under AS. The CPAN and CPANPLUS autoinstaller b0rks in a quite inconsistent way. To fix this I have installed the cygwin shell, but ASPerl still uses Ms-dos to run commands. I might have a go at building Perl from scratch using Cygwin. Is this recommended or should I just download the binary? Ideally I would prefer to play with building my own, as I could also have bleadperl available alongside.
