Re^2: perl on win2k

thanks for the links. I had come across those repositories (the monk's, btw, hasn't been operational in a while... I remember it down a couple months ago when I first tried it). however what I can't seem to find is a working ppd of DBD::Sybase... even http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/ doesn't have one. which is why I'd love to be untethered from ActiveState...

There are some PPDs at http://www.peppler.org/downloads/ActiveState/. An alternative that I've found to be quite nice is to install cygwin - gives you a nice bash shell, and the Unix build/make instructions work out of the box (well, mostly). Michael	[reply]
