Has anybody tried this yet? See http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GR/GRAHAMC/.

The distribution includes DBI, DBD::ODBC modules, which makes a lot of sense (I don't know why ActiveState doesn't make that the default for Win32 ports).

It includes RTF::Document and RTF::Group... nice to have some of my modules included but 1. nobody asked me (*) and 2. both are horribly buggy. O(h yeah, RTF::Group is an experimental module that has no use without the as-yet unreleased generator modules.)

Too bad it's only version 5.005.

UPDATE: (*) I did E-mail the maintainer of the build.

Also noticed Spreadsheet::WriteExcel, Storable, FreezeThaw, GD, GDGraph, and some other useful non-standard modules.

It has potential if they're supporting and encouraging Perl.
