All ActivePerl modules can be found somewhere under <http://www.activestate.com/PPMpackages/>. For the most recent ActivePerls, you need either 5.6 or 5.6plus (which includes binaries for other platforms; 5.6 is Windows only). (n.b. I'm not sure what 5.6plus~ is intended for, as the PPD's point towards 5.6plus for the .tar.gz files.) Somewhere under "zips", you can retrieve a ZIP file containing a PPD file fit for local installation, and the .tar.gz file. The ZIP is a lot larger than the other archives, because it contains the binaries for all 3 platforms. You can easily turn the PPD in such a localized version, by replacing the absolute URL with a relative one. -- Bart.
