Hmmm. Could you precise a little more?

I'd like to find this library (it would actually be better than having to recompile the whole distribution...)

And as I told you, I did not see the distribution source for Perl 5.005 on ActiveState's page.

As suggested above, I could try to get the CPAN instead, but I'm wondering if I won't run into any portability issues that I wouldn't have to worry about with something coming from ActiveState (ActiveState is compiled with Visual C++ - if you look on their page, you will see that they might even be bought my Microsoft in the future...).
