Really. Maybe they switched it back to perl5.6? Did you try the repositories?

If you get desperate, simply go to my repository( http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm) and try out the script listed there to bypass the ppm shell (cause it SUCKS).

update:
If you still can't get it i'll see about putting up a version on my repository tomorrow.

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo! ** The Third rule of perl club is a statement of fact: pod is sexy.
