This directory contains the fruits of all my activity related to Perl.
In short order:

perl-5.6.1.tar.gz
   Latest production version of Perl.  For bleeding edge development
   releases, see $CPAN/authors/id/JHI/.  Older production versions
   based on 5.005 and 5.004 can be found at $CPAN/authors/id/GBARR/
   and $CPAN/authors/id/CHIPS/ respectively.

perl5.00402-bindist04-bc.zip
perl5.00402-bindist04-bc.tar.gz
   This used to be a popular binary distribution of Perl for the Win32
   platform (intel), now rather outdated.  Comes with many widely-used
   modules and all the tools for adding new ones from CPAN.  This
   distribution is rather aged; see www.ActiveState.com for binaries
   built around the latest version of Perl.

libwin32-*.zip
libwin32-*.tar.gz
libwin32-*.patch
   A growing collection of Win32-specific modules.  Contains binaries
   that can only be used with the perl5.00402-bindist04-bc distribution
   above.  If your Perl binaries are from elsewhere, you'll need to
   either rebuild from source, or get binaries from the same source
   as your Perl binaries.  If there is a patch, it can be applied over
   the latest available *.zip or *.tar.gz.

DB_File-1.54-bin-v3-x86-mswin32-bc.zip
   Intel binaries for the DB_File extension, for use with the
   perl5.00402-bindist04-bc distribution above.  Built with Berkeley
   DB version 2.3.6.

Alias-2.32.tar.gz
   A module that allows you to say "convenient" in the same breath as
   "object-oriented".  Provides easy syntax to access hash-based object
   attributes and hash elements in general.

Data-Dumper-2.101.tar.gz
   Pretty printer and persistence engine for Perl data. Perl 5.005 and
   later come with this bundled, so you typically need this only if you
   are using an earlier version of Perl.  Not maintained outside the
   Perl source tree any more.

MLDBM-2.00.tar.gz
   A convenience wrapper that allows you to store multidimensional
   structures in DBM databases.

Tie-IxHash-1.21.tar.gz
   A module that allows hashes to be order preserving.

Archive-Tar-0.071.tar.gz
   I don't maintain this anymore.  See $CPAN/authors/id/SRZ/ for more
   recent versions.

dmake-4.1pl1-win32.zip
   A somewhat fixed up version of Dennis Vadura's make clone.  This
   is totally unsupported.  If you want to use it with Perl to build
   extensions, change the 'make' entry in Config.pm such that
   running `perl -V:make` prints "make='dmake';".

Anything that doesn't figure in the list above is either not related to
Perl, or hysterical junk that you should probably ignore.

Enjoy!
