MinGW available via PPM using AS Perl on Windows

[A. Sinan Unur]

Apparently, it is now possible to install MinGW using ppm on Windows:

ppm install MinGW

Details at:

I have not tried it yet, but thought it might be of interest to others. I
only found out about it by chance.

I gave it a whirl: http://lomas-assault.net/usenet/z13.jpg

I only have a dial-up, so I stopped it, but it was on track.

Is ppm a dos command I'm unaware of?

GUI or command line. Here's some information about it:

Apparently, it is now possible to install MinGW using ppm on Windows:

Yes - I've done a 'ppm install MinGW' with both builds 825 and 1004 of
ActivePerl, and it's fine.
Unlike the MinGW that ships with Strawberry Perl, ActivePerl's MinGW
also includes the g77 fortran compiler - so you can even build PGPLOT,
and a more functional version of PDL (and, presumably, other modules
that need the g77 compiler).
