New ActiveState PPM build system is live

ActiveState tells me that the new PPM servers are now available. This is the new hotness that Jan Dubois talked about at the beginning of the year. You need the PPM 4 client, which is already in the 5.10 distros and the 5.8 distros since build.

The new repos have many more modules. These numbers are straight from ActiveState today:

Platform Vers | Old Repo | New Repo (CPANfly)
 
  Linux   5.8      7790     10961
  Linux   5.10     5611     10888
 
  OS X    5.8      8506     10907
  OS X    5.10     2662     10878
 
  Windows 5.8      7267      9106
  Windows 5.10     6524      9060
