That's good news that they seem receptive to requests for ppm
packages ... In the meantime, for the DBD-mysql package for
ActivePerl 8xx builds at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ I
added a post-install script which will offer to fetch and
install, if desired, the required libmySQL.dll, if you don't have
it already - this point caused some confusion earlier. To access
this repository you can add, within the ppm shell, the location
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer58
and then 'install DBD-mysql' at the ppm prompt.
