PPM Index enables you to search for build information and availability of Perl packages (Perl modules) in ActiveState's PPM build repositories for our ActivePerl distributions. ActiveState's Perl Package Manager (PPM) provides quick installation of thousands of packages for many Perl versions and platforms for ActivePerl distributions. ActivePerl's method of dealing with modules is to instead include a package manager which downloads pre-compiled modules from known repositories instead of compiling as needed. Both methods have pros and cons. Compiling isn't for the meek, but pre-compiled packages means you're waiting on someone else to do the work for you.
