That's fine, we can do that:-) Also though, remember that PPM is supposed to take care of the dependencies for you, as far as Perl version, build, etc...
As far as Installation, we can either consolidate all PPM insatlls, or each PPM builder can write a small script to be run before PPM install to check prereq's versions... This script can be to (I can't remember where at this point) to be run when PPM installs and is included in the PPM packages. For more info, look at Randy Kobe's ppm package for XML::Parser, which copies a needed dll as well and has a script for that.

In theory, if we are all running DBI 1.30, it should not be a problem. 2) May I suggest that we try to have one location for this (with a mirror, is OK, but let's be consistent)? I don't mind it being hosted by me, but we should coordinate our efforts and ensure we have the same DBI versions. What I'd prefer seeing is: one person be the "master" DBI builder and everyone share that version of the DBI, just in case. I don't mind putting more modules on my ftp site...
