Apparently somebody didn't get the joke/prod that I was doing based on
the fact that the OP misspelled Oracle as Orcale and mistyped the "::"
as ":"...

Apparently ActiveState has been ported to more platforms than I was
aware of. Still, authors on CPAN, in general, don't know or think about
PPM (AFAICT) and just do things in what they consider the "standard" way
(perl -MCPAN). I guess my point can be boiled down to "Why fight the
trend?". YMMV
That plus that annual subscription fee is way out of my $0.00 software
budget! ;-)
