Regarding this comment about the PAR ActiveState PPM being a little dated, does anyone know the procedure to get a CPAN module to appear in ActiveState's PPM repository?
I think that the truth is exposed more if you go to the PPM build status pages.

Many modules are listed as "Fail" owing to prerequisites, or owing to the build needing a manual step.

In the case of PAR, the Makefile.PL step is asking whether to auto-install Parse::Binary and Win32::Exe. Taking the default of No, tests are failing, or rather timing out.

Hope this helps.
