ppm is the Perl Package Manager and is part of the ActiveState Perl distribution. It uses various repositories which contain pre-built CPAN modules and provides ways to search, install and manage packages. The links in the reply above are to some of the additional ppm repositories that various people have created. Perl is Huffman encoded by design.	[reply]
