Hundreds of...I hope it's more updates than bug fixes...:P

Btw, http://www.activestate.com/products/activeperl/ does not seem to
render well on FireFox. It used to very well though.

It is both really, but note that many bugs may be quite obscure.

Build 822 is based on all the patches that have been already integrated
into the Perl maintenance branch that will eventually become Perl 5.8.9.
There are a huge number of patches (I think 700 or so) because the
release of 5.8.8 happened already quite some time ago. I applied another
50-100 changes from the 5.9.x development track on top of this.

You'll have to check the Changes file in AP822_source.zip to see the
details of all the changes.

I'll pass that on, but could you let me know what exactly you find
broken? I noticed that the page has a fixed width in FF, so using
either very large or very small text doesn't look nice. Or is there
any other problem?

Cheers,
-Jan

I don't see any problem with Firefox 2.0.0.6 on Linux. Looking at
Firefox side by side with Internet Exploder 6 the only noticeable
difference is in the position and appearance of the "NEXT STEPS" menu,
and if anything, I think that Firefox does a better job of rendering it.

Thanks. Out of curiosity: do you know when 5.10 will be out? Any chance
within this year?

It could well be a problem with my ISP, but in any case your site looks
beautiful again. Thanks.

Yes, I expect 5.10 to be released later this year, maybe as early as
September or October.

I've ran 817 for the longest and it is nice to run across a note like
this in which I can keep in mind I upgrade 8.22.

Is this an applicable option to 817 and earlier? More preferably can
anyone share any experience(s) with rebuilding a large perl install from
817 (or earlier) using this method?

Yes, you can use PPM-Profile to transfer your modules from 817 or earlier to a later ActivePerl release.



The main caveat is that it will only restore modules that:



a) have been installed by PPM originally

b) still exist in the PPM repository



Modules will also not be restored to exactly the same version, but to the latest version available from the repository.



Cheers,

-Jan
