I'm building up a Win32 mod_perl/mod_ssl binary, based on
perl-5.6.0, that has crypt built in, like ActiveState's.
And it'll also be coming from Canada. However, among some
other things, the latest CPAN versions of both mod_perl and
Embperl need some changes to compile with this combination, and
I'm waiting for these changes to propagate into the next
official releases.
