in reply to Is ActivePerl repositories go free again?

You should actually ask them to get an official answer. ActiveState Perl also ships with cpan for installing modules, though you would likely need to install the MinGW package manually. You could just switch to Strawberry Perl, which has a more complete development environment by default, more non core modules, a proper build environment and so on.

    There are reasons... but in short, before Strawberry Perl can load sitecustomize.pl again. I will have to stick with ActivePerl. Thanks for your suggestion though. =)

      Place your sitecustomize.pl anywhere in perls lib path as sitecustomize.pm and set the environment variable PERL5OPT to -Msitecustomize - that should do the trick with strawberry.

        Hey! That's something new that I've never considered! Must give it a try. One thing that I don't want to do extra module way is because I have to use that module everywhere ( scripts and other modules ) and I am 200% sure I don't want to deal with this mess. But this trick make the change transparent! Thanks for the advise! Love it! =D

      Then either create a config module to store this and switch to Strawberry or pay ActiveState for their services.

      Update: but you already knew that.
