CrazyPPM repository, interested?
&lt;P&gt;
Recently I acquired a compiler for me win32 box, and I started compilin' all them packages I couldn't before.
ActiveState compiles only those packages their users request (the subscribers), and I usually couldn't get the latest and the greatest, sooo, tell me, would you be interested if I were to run a PPM repository? &lt;STRIKE&gt;Ya can drop me /tell's /msg's and I'd see if I can compile the stuff (I probably will), and I'll put it up.&lt;/STRIKE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
I already made my first ppm and I have put it up at [http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/misc/DB_File-1.803.with.DB-4.0.14.tar.gz] and [ignatz] tells me it installed ok, althought he hasn't yet tested it ... feel free to do that, lemme know what you think.
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;B&gt;update:&lt;/B&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
[http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/|for perl 5.6.x]&lt;br&gt;
[http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/5.8/|for perl 5.8.x]
&lt;br&gt;
but be sure to read
[http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/README.html|README.html].

&lt;P&gt;
&lt;B&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/B&gt; I &lt;strike&gt;striked&lt;/strike&gt; part about /msg (I only take requests by email, and subject must conform).
You must to read [http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/README.html|README.html].
