In ActiveState's announcement about the beta release they say that they expect to support a complete 5.8 ppm repository when an official release is made. There's no estimate given of when that might be. The modules you mention above though I have compliled and tested some with perl-5.8, and I'll add them to our repository if they're not in ActiveState's. -- best regards, randy
