autobox as ppm package for AS Perl?

[Michele Dondi]

Does anybody have a precompiled autobox ppm for AS Perl, version
5.8.8? Currently my repositories are:

But a search of autobox only turns out

1: autobox-Core
Perl built-in functions exposed as methods in primitive types
Version: 0.3
Author: Scott Walters (e-mail address removed)
Provide: autobox::Core version 0.3
Require: autobox
Repo: trouchelle
CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/dist/autobox-Core-0.3/
Installed: 0.3 (site)

Which depends on autobox itself.

One reply @ PM, reported here for completeness:

: I looked at building autobox with perl-5.8.8 (ActivePerl 820), but
: this fails when compiling the xs component with a missing symbol
: error. This is due to autobox.xs calling Perl_pp_method_named, which
: isn't available in the perl public API.
