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

I thought you might say something like that!

Well, no. It seems that Strawberry Perl is gaining ground in the Windows world, and if there are only a few packages for OSX, why not just go with raw Perl everywhere.
