I've placed a self-extracting archive, Perl-5.8-win32-bin.exe, at ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/, which contains a Win32 binary distribution of Perl-5.8 and Apache-2.0.43, including mod_perl-1.99_08. This was built using the sources provided by ActiveState for build 804, and as such, ppm packages installed via the included ppm utility from ActiveState's 5.8 repository can be used. Two README files, a short and a long one, describe the installation. An (experimental) script is included in the Perl bin/ directory which automates some of the needed configuration (manual checking is still advised). Included in the Apache2 distribution are a sample ModPerl::Registry script, a simple mod_perl-2 handler, and sample Apache::ASP and HTML::Mason pages. An Emberl ppm package will be made when available. Please let me know of any problems you encounter in the installation, especially as related to the configuration. For questions about mod_perl-2, this list and http://perl.apache.org/ are great resources, while for Embperl, Apache::ASP, or HTML::Mason specifically, see their respective sites and lists.
