    Sounds like an excellent suggestion, but I can not seem to install it on MS windows. I will review the instructions again...

      It's possible - likely even - that ActiveState has not created a PPM package for it. There are other package repositories; see http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=PPM_Repositories for a good list.

      If none of the repositories has a package, you can download the tarball from CPAN. It's a pure Perl module, so you don't need a compiler. The standard

      > perl Makefile.PL > nmake > nmake test > nmake install
      should work fine.
