I just installed ActiveState build 804 of Perl 5.8.0 on my Win2000
laptop, and am in the process of re-installing all my modules that
were missing when I deinstalled 5.6.
I'd gotten wedged in the past, probably because I had a bastard (oops,
hybrid) set of installations from various CPAN installers.
Is one of the installers clearly superior?
* c:/Perl/bin/ppm.bat
* perl -MCPAN -eshell
* <something else>
The limited reading/testing I've done has shown me this:
* ppm.bat seems to be more elaborate
* it doesn't have the latest versions of a module I'm interested in
How do you install modules in a WinDOS box? Are you happy with it?
