Wayne, if you find that installer, kick it over this way. :D I'd like to mirror it on my site anyway. I got double bandwidth this year, and I was barely using a quarter of it before it got doubled :D
People have been downloading the 1.19 installer from my server.... :shrug: and every now and then i'll get a visitor who used strings like "sdl perl win32" and the likes.

Thanks for the links guys. I've tried both. The installers try to run
`ppm install --location="c:\Program Files\SDL_Perl\"` or something
similar yet my ppm does not support this syntax. Unknown option: location
I uncompressed the SDL_Perl-1.19.1.win32.1.tar.gz manually && tried copying the blib/lib/auto/ stuff into c:\Perl\lib\auto\ which let the tests get past the autosplit.ix failure.
Now the tests bring up a dialog that says:
(Window Title) perl.exe - Unable To Locate Component (Window Text) This application has failed to start because Perl56.dll was not found. Re-installing might fix this. *OK*
Dismissing that dialog spits the following out in my 4NT shell:
Can't load 'C:/Perl/lib/auto/SDL_perl/SDL_perl.dll' for module SDL_perl: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 229 . at C:/Perl/lib/SDL.pm line 9 Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/SDL.pm line 9. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/SDL.pm line 9. Compilation failed in require at checkkeys.pl line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at checkkeys.pl line 3.
The SDL_perl.dll is definitely in that directory so it must not be able to load it. I'm running ActiveState's perl v5.8.3 build 809 for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread as my main Perl install.
I have a 5.6 hanging around in c:\Perl\Perl5.6\ so I changed my path to look for the bin/ in there && copied all the SDL stuff between lib/ dirs.
This got pretty close... my utility actually ran && created a window but when I gave it a mouse click (event), it seg faulted (SDL Parachute Deployed).
All the test apps ran fine except testconsole.pl && testshell.pl since they need auto/SDL/ConsoleInit.al && auto/SDL/ConsoleAddC.al which I don't have.
I'll mess with my utility to see if I can figure out why it's crashing. Thanks again for the links.
