    Well, I was kind of in a hurry, so in such situations I tend to fall back on tried and true methods that work more or less everywhere. :)

      In fact, since it's by far the easiest way, I've added you to the repository.
      
      An email with your account should have arrived.
      
      Check out http://svn.ali.as/cpan/websites/strawberryperl.com/ [svn.ali.as] and go nuts.
      
      I'll update the public site from svn tomorrow.

  Er ... The website says "Arriving November 2007." Does that mean that Perl 5.10 is arriving November 2007? Was there an announcement? I might have missed it, 'cuz i am not subscribed to all possible Perl mailing lists and RSS feeds. Although i would like to have a stable 5.10 ASAP, i liked to imagine that the release date of this important version would be December 18.
