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? 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.
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.
update:
for perl 5.6.x
for perl 5.8.x
but be sure to read
README.html.
UPDATE: I striked part about /msg (I only take requests by email, and subject must conform).
You must to read README.html.
