Additional information:
- CL supplied background on ActiveState in articles on a Perl plugin ([L1 ] and [L2 ]) and ...
- ActiveState hosts a collection of nightly CVS head checkouts for Tcl, Tk and various extensions at ftp://ftp.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/nightly-cvs/ . This is being done as a community courtesy and should not be treated as a community right. In some cases, the cvs head snapshot is not the latest set of source files for the extension - in a few cases, the extension moved from cvs to subversion. In other cases, the cvs head may not even build (perhaps, for instance, the developer is working on new features, etc.) Locate the project's home page to ascertain the currency of the code and the location of the authority version.
