[Bioperl-l] ActiveState Perl problems

[Chris Fields]

SOAP::Lite is pretty complicated; I'm not sure if it is pure perl  
either (which makes it problematic for WinXP).  I'll do some checking  
around to see if there is a perl 5.10 build for Windows.

I'm toying around with the idea of setting up a nightly PPM archives  
of the bioperl distributions in their own directory, along with  
nightly tar balls.  Just need to get time to work on it!
