PPM::Make ~ get it while it's hot
I take requests (got a module that could be compiled under win32 but is not on any ppm repositories, I'll give it a shot given you read my
readme and comply).
My repository is about to undergo a rehaul, as I'm beginning to compile modules under perl5.8.
By the way, you can get a binary version of perl5.8 built by me at my repository. The only thing I changed is what perl -v spits out:
G:\>perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread by a crazy ins

I provide a PPM version of BerkeleyDB, which nobody else does AFAIK. So far I've taken maybe 5 requests.
When you don't use `ppm3' to install modules (you just do a make install), You may find it useful to update your ActivePerl html docs. I do this practically every other day ;)
perl -MFile::Path -MConfig -e" rmtree(qq[$Config{installhtmldir}\\bin]
+) "
perl -MFile::Path -MConfig -e" rmtree(qq[$Config{installhtmldir}\\site
+\\lib]) "
perl -MActivePerl::DocTools -e ActivePerl::DocTools::UpdateHTML()
perl -MActivePerl::DocTools -e ActivePerl::DocTools::WriteTOC()
perl -MPod::Master -e Update()

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
