Why is it discouraged to use PPM perl modules with Strawberry perl on Windows?

PPDs can actually include external libraries (e.g. XML::LibXML's package includes libxml2), so they can be simpler to install.

PPMs were created (by ActiveState, I think) so that users could install modules with XS extensions or which used external libraries, without needing to have a C compiler or make, or any of the unixy stuff that cpan expects to have present. One of their problems is that ActiveState (or someone) has to have made the PPM for the module you want, and all the modules it uses from CPAN. Sometimes this meant using an older version until they caught up, and sometimes it meant modules just weren't available.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
