Make that - the ActiveState way (ppd), which uses an XML format to specify download location, file requirements etc. - pretty much what PECL aims at currently. You can however set alternate repositories, like theoryx5 for the things ActiveState doesn't touch :-). >IMHO, there should be an ActiveState-like distrib for Windows users. Not necessary, if the expat extension remains compiled in and php-cli/pear is working properly. The XML format is the glue between the platforms. CPAN uses it's own config.pm file, assumes a number of things (try `readme Foo::Bar` when there's no readme) and requires a fixed repository lay-out.
