+.tmp BerkeleyDB.pm

I thought that if you tried to upgrade ExtUtils, you end up having to re-install perl. Am I incorrect?

    No. That was some old CPAN bug which upgrade your perl. ExtUtils::MakeMaker and ExtUtils::Constant are both regular cpan distributions (and MakeMaker even has a website ).

    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
