I'm curious: Is there a particular reason why you are using ActiveState
Perl instead of Strawberry?
In addition to this list I aways recommend that questions be asked on
www.perlmonks.org as well. The site looks like it's straight out of the
nineties, but it is actually tremendously useful. They have a few
resident Perl-On-Windows gurus too.
