In the past, it has been possible to run rsync against ftp.linux.activestate.com to get a copy of the current versions of perl. Is there some reason that perl-5.12.x is not available? I can view and download 5.005, 5.6.2, 5.6.x, 5.8.x, 5.10.x, and perl-current, but nothing else. Should I be going against a different web site now?
