lozzer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Where are the Perl 5.10 ppm repositories for OS X (except the main ActiveState one)?
For example, I can't seem to find any modules at http://trouchelle.com/
It means that even big modules like Tk can't be installed.
Any help would be very welcome.

    No others exist

    No, it just means you have to install them, like this guy, or this guy

      Thanks for the very quick reply!
      Unfortunately, the links you give seem quite old.
      The latest version of OS X (10.4) in the first link says "You can use the Perl 5.8.6 that comes with Tiger or build it yourself..."
      Does that mean we can't use Perl 5.10? I doubt it, but the information is really quite old.
      In the second link, the first thing it says is "If you have not already done so, upgrade to Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar)..."
      So, that's really going back a bit! (And again, it only talks about Perl 5.8.
      So, it seems like the advantages of ActivePerl PPM (on OSX) are gone, and we're back to CPAN and building things ourselves. Not that it's impossible.
      Hmm...

        Put it to the test already :)

        You might wish to consider buying a license/contract with ActiveState
