Aha!!  5.10, eh?

There are a *lot* of modules not yet built for 5.10, it seems.  I made
the upgrade when I got a new computer a month or so ago, found out
that I couldn't get the modules I needed without a lot of unnecessary
hassle, so I went to an older build of ActivePerl:

C:\>perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 18 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Copyright 1987-2007, Larry Wall

Binary build 822 [280952] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com
Built Jul 31 2007 19:34:48

I would strongly recommend that you do the same unless you have some
particular need to use the latest build.  I have a pretty good sized
Perl application in production, and have not found a need for 5.10.
IMO, ActiveState ought to make sure they have builds for all the
modules in their PPM repository before they rev the product.
