I'm using ActiveState Perl 5.6 on a Win32 platform and need to install "Encode" for some utf-8 shenanigans. However I get the following error from PPM when trying:
PPM> install Encode
Install package 'Encode?' (y/N): y
Installing package 'Encode'...
Downloading http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6/MSWin32-x86-mul
+ti-thread/Encode-1.99.tar.gz ...
Error installing package 'Encode': Error reading http://ppm.activestat
+e.com/PPMPackages/5.6/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/Encode-1.99.tar.gz
I've checked the repository and it isn't there. Does anyone know:
(1) Where I could get hold of this module from ?
(2) An alternative way of decoding UTF-8 strings (must be compatible with Win32 5.6) ?
Thanks.

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).
