My dear fellow Monks!

I just bought "Perl testing - A developer's Notebook" and now wish to install Devel::Cover.

Unfortunately it has XS-components and therefore needs a C-compiler to install. As I'm working on a Windows machine which is compiler-challenged, I fired up my ppm-program, but alas in none of the repositories I have linked to can it be found.

Does anyone of you know a repository which has a version of Devel::Cover available?

Update: Thanks all for the info. We will just patiently wait until perlmonk.org comes back on-line (and hope that they could recover the data from the old system). Checking the ActiveState site, it appears that this module only compiled without problems on "Darwin" and failed on all other systems. As all I know of installing compiled XS-modules is to invoke the magic incantation of make; make test; make install I will not hazard to go for installing a free C++ compiler and try it in this case as I will surely have no better results as the professionals!
