in thread ppm for Perl 5.10 on OS X

Does that mean we can't use Perl 5.10? I doubt it, but the information is really quite old.

Put it to the test already :)

So, it seems like the advantages of ActivePerl PPM (on OSX) are gone, and we're back to CPAN and building things ourselves.

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.
