Yep, the httpd.conf redirect worked a treat.

I've put all the PPD info into package.xml which is only read by PPM4.
This way their PPD info can be separate from PPD info for PPM3. I think
it was agreed that we'd recommend Perl 5.8.8.819 or greater for windows.
However, if there are enough requests, I can see about making PPDs for
PPM3 - but I had major problems with Perl 5.6.1 since many dependencies
(or dependencies of Bioperl dependencies) were not available for Perl
5.6. But as I said, this could be revisited later if there are enough
requests.
