demerphq has recently patched ExtUtils::Install to use the Win32 API to do this on Windows (and the old files are removed at the next reboot). That's great news for VanillaPerl, but doesn't help ActiveState as, again, they're stuck with ExtUtils::Install from 5.8.0.

Not so. The latest build of ActiveState perl has EU::MM-6.30, which includes EU::I-1.33 - all of which is stock-standard perl 5.8.8.

Cheers,
Rob
