test victors test.
perlmx pmx repositories, see also home2
ftp all of the anonftp dir (restricted access)
ftp-1 all of the ftp dir (restricted access)
home2-pmx this together with perlmx fully mirrors the pmx repositories
If you use the correct defaults-name, F<configsmoke.pl> will choose the right archive:
-d smoke562 ftp.linux.activestate.com::perl-5.6.2
-d smoke58x ftp.linux.activestate.com::perl-5.8.x
(no -d==blead) ftp.linux.activestate.com::perl-current
Please do not use the ::perl-5.6.x archive.
Good luck,
Abe
