ActivePerl 8xx Win32 PPM packages

This area contains prebuilt ppm packages for Win32 for ActivePerl builds 8xx, based on perl-5.8. If you are looking for packages for ActivePerl builds 6xx, based on perl-5.6, see http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/, or for ActivePerl builds 10xx, based on perl-5.10, see http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/.

Zipped archives of most of these packages, suitable for local installation, are available, as are some bundled zipped archives consisting of a package plus all of its prerequisites.

If a desired package isn't available here, you can request one to be supplied.

Packages in this directory may be installed by giving the following command at a DOS prompt: 

 C:\>ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/package.ppd
where package.ppd is the name of the package listed below (with a .ppd extension added). Alternatively, you can add repositories to the ppm utility (see the help facility within the ppm shell for the syntax of how to do so); doing this allows you to search for and install packages within the ppm shell using the syntax: 
  ppm> search something
  ppm> install Some-Package
A set of repositories, suitable for adding to the ppm utility of ActivePerl 8xx, is given below - make sure to add only those repositories corresponding to your Perl version, as reported by C:\>perl -v.
