After updating the install webpage for SciPDL I was looking at updates to the 
instructions for other operating systems.  Starting with Windows.  I'm going to 
include the not-so-new development that Strawberry Perl has a PDL-specific 
edition.  ActivePerl is another matter.  According to 
https://code.activestate.com/ppm/PDL/, recent versions of PDL have not been 
built, or have not built successfully for Windows.  Does anybody have any 
familiarity with the reasons why?  Our current webpage says to use the 
sisyphusion.tk repos—that's fine and all, but why is that even necessary?

I'm not familiar with the ActiveState way of doing things: could I (or, 
preferably, somebody else with Perl on Windows experience) download the 
Community Edition onto a Windows machine and try to diagnose problems, or is 
all the compiling etc done on ActiveState's black box servers and the ppm just 
downloads the results of the build to accomplish the install?

thanks,
Derek
