I purchased this kit over a year ago.
It was and still is a bargain when installing Perl on any WIN32 machine.
Sure, the Perl needs updating as soon as you can get on line, but the PPM sure saves a lot of trouble.
This is not for a person with no programming experience.
Perl is a scripting language which is used on the internet and can perform many routines on a win32 machine better than DOS.
The PDK is included free, needs upgrading, which is also free if you buy this kit.
Yes you can download the Perl and also all the packages on the net, individually, but time and connections can divert your attentions and you will never get the full benefit of Perl.
I recommend this package to persons desiring to get Perl up and running in the shortest period possible and it is absolutely a must for those machines with a slow modem connection to the web.
