in reply to Disappointed with latest Strawberry Perl
PPM was written by Activestate for their distribution of Perl. Are you sure that there are no licensing restrictions concerning its redistribution with other (non-Activestate) distributions?
As for a Fortran compiler... I can't imagine more than a few percent of Win32 Perl users requiring one. So for a broad majority of users, that will be unnecessary bloat, in a package that is already quite large.
Adam has put a fair amount of work into the build chain for Strawberry Perl, which opens up the possibility for you to create and distribute a Perl-Fortran distribution. You could call it Punched Card Perl (the initials can be read on two levels :)
