Re: [wxperl-users] Activestate and WxPerl

[Jay S. <me...@he...>]

Worked like a charm my man.  Thanks

I don't understand, I'm new to Perl (on windows, compiled/used a fair amount
on *nix).  I understand all you need to M$ C compiler to compile perl on
windows.  But I thought you had to use activestate if  you wanted ppm.  What
is your repository?

Thanks
Jay
