Except that it seems to not be able to build most stuff on the two most
common platforms. Looky here:
http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-G.html
GD cant be build. Graph::Easy can't be build on quite a few things because
Scalar-List-Util can't be build, etc. etc. In fact, the entire page under
"G" looks scary with so much red.
Graph::Easy and GD work just fine when compiled with CPAN/manually under
Linux, but aren't available via PPM. That basically makes it useless for
me :)
Best wishes,
