  If activestate kept up with CPAN this would have been fine, instead I had to uninstall the ppm par and install from source, which kind of defeats the purpose of ppm.

  Of course without AS I'd have to jump through even more hoops when using perl on WIN32.

    I use a perl compiled with gcc [mingw.org] to create my own PPMs. I've been able to create PPMs for PAR, Wx, XML::LibXML and others with relative ease. And they all work with a regular ActivePerl.

      annoyingly I now find that there is an resolved dependancy when it runs at the clients site.

      This has lead me to a handy tool via google tho : dependency walker [dependencywalker.com] which gives you nice dependency trees for your dll or exe files on 'doze -- shame it doesn't allow you to fix or bundle them.
