Allright. I got a few people supporting this idea and I'd like to say thanks.

The repository is located at: http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm. Depending on your version of PPM, you can add/use it by typing

ppm>set rep crazy http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm
ppm>search *
[download]

or

ppm3>rep add crazy http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm
ppm3>search *
[download]

As soon as I find out how ppm likes it, I'll structure the repository so I can keep multiple versions of modules if people request them.

So far I have 4 ( BerkeleyDB DBD-SQLite Compress-Bzip2 DB_File ) packages, so goan right ahead and play.

ps -- most of the stuff compiled/tested fine, but one or two had some warnings, but nothing to worry about ... if you're interested, I might even start adding Module-Version.report ~ basically an account of how thing went, from before perl Makefile.PL to buildppm).
