    That will not work because there are no repositories available for x64 5.8.8 (only 5.10). So in light of this situation I need to know if there is another way I can get x64 Perl modules for 5.8.8.

      What did you get when you tried it? (c&p the output).

        It should yield:

        Looks like there's no ppm repo for w64 perl-5.8 ... at ActiveState, at least.

        Cheers,
