Just a general question to all Monks....

Has anyone tried running the ActiveState Perl install on a Windows 2003 64 bit machine? I've been trying to get some things working on the 64 bit side, and it seems like most of the repositories do not show much for 64 bit available. Or there is just a problem with the way PPM is working on Windows 2003 (which I have noticed since some things are not working right like the GUI).

Right now I'm just looking to see what people have done, or know about as gotchas, as I am still setting up the environment and have hit a few things.

1. PPM repositories always show 0 packages available, and this is with default ActiveState, ppm4 ActiveState and UWinniPeg.

2. I have a Win32 install on C and a Win64 install on E, to support either version, and C has plenty of modules, E not so much (well not any really, other than default install)

3. Can't do much with nmake yet, still trying to work through cl issues, but getting there.

If anyone has anything to share in set up I'll be glad to hear it.
