http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/src/5.10/ I'm not sure that constitutes what BrowserUk called "a copy of AS' source tree" - depending, of course, on precisely what he means :-) Certainly, those sources will contain the core patches that ActiveState used for their builds - but I think that the non-core modules that ship as standard with ActiveState builds are missing. So if you build perl using those sources, you'll then have to install additional modules before you have the same as provided by the ActiveState binaries. (At least that's the way it used to be.)

Indeed. The very utility of the AS builds in not the binary distribution--though it is convenient--it is it's completeness. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. "I'd rather go naked than blow up my ass"	[reply]
