in reply to CrazyPPM repository, interested?

Yes, good idea, though I don't understand:
  1. Why can't ActiveState be persuaded to distribute every module as a ppm?
  2. Additionally/alternatively: why can't we download ppm's directly from CPAN (e.g. only for those modules which require compilation). It's so frustrating to search for a module, check if it needs to be compiled and then still have to search for the ppm. (And I think that this functionality would improve CPAN's usability)

Cheerio!
