The must-have list.

WinZip 8.1 and 9 cannot recognize the directory structure in some valid *.tar files.

If you download a file from here and WinZip says there is no directory structure, WinZip is wrong.

The link 'Installation help' just below shows you how to use tar and gunzip for DOS.

This bug has something to do with POSIX style paths.

Instructions for installing any Perl module are here:

Installation help

If you have an ActiveState-style Perl, you are strongly encouraged to use ppm remotely to install modules.

A note about the column below labelled '*.zip+ppm':

As explained in the installation help, you can install these modules using ppm remotely. However, if you choose to download the ActiveState-style distro, you actually download a *.zip file. This file contains a *.ppd file, which is input to ppm.
