The main contents of this directory are self-extracting archives containing binary packages of Perl/Apache/mod_perl/mod_ssl/php for Win32. There are two main distributions.
  • Perl-5.8-win32-bin.exe, consisting of Perl-5.8.0 and Apache 2.0.43. See Perl-5.8-win32-bin.readme for details.
  • perl-win32-bin.exe, consisting of Perl-5.6.1 and Apache 1.3.27. See perl-win32-bin.readme for details.
If you have trouble downloading the complete packages due to their size, the corresponding subdirectories Perl-5.8-win32-bin and perl-win32-bin contain these distributions split across multiple files (of around 3 MB each). See the file README.join in these subdirectories for instructions on how to join these files.
You gotta love having bleeding edge apache/mod_perl ;D


MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.
