I don't have ActivePerl installed here
but I guess that's there in the AP distribution.
I have three Win32 ActivePerl versions: 638 (perl-5.6.1),
802 (perl-5.8.0), and 815 (perl-5.8.7), and none have the
Env::Array module. Probably the
Env::Array documentation is there for the benefit of
users of older ActivePerls before the module became
obsolete.
Can we take this (and probably similar) modules from the ActivePerl distro and upload to CPAN?
Should we?
Unless there's an explicit copyright statement
accompanying the module, it would probably be
a good idea to ask ActiveState about this.
As ActivePerl for some time has been built from
the standard Perl sources and CPAN modules, probably
the only modules in ActivePerl that would be of general
interest that aren't already on CPAN are PPM
(Programmer's Package Manager, v 3) modules and the
ActivePerl DocTools used to build and maintain HTML
documentation. However, my understanding is that
these particular modules aren't available for distribution
outside of ActivePerl.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
