Nathan, that's a great suggestion! I had never thought of recommending to
people that they use a Ubuntu Live CD. I use Ubuntu now full-time which is
why I stopped creating the nightly .exe's. I'll be sure to add that to the
wiki.

That said, I do have Windows 7 running in a VirtualBox, but no longer have
the ActiveState PerlApp tool to make .exe's with. Is anyone familiar with
pp?

I would like to get a newer nightly build uploaded if possible; it looks
like that tool may do the trick.
