Thanks for the feedback!  I've confirmed all 3 issues.  The first 2 are
due to a rewritten installer.  It looks like PerlMSI is changing the
single quotes to double quotes in all values before storing them in the
MSI database...

I see that PerlMSI also doesn't use the built-in license and requires a
regular PDK 6 trial license.  Note that there are no bug fixes for the
debugger or PerlMSI in Beta1.

You can also file bugs in our regular PDK bug database:

    http://bugs.activestate.com/PerlDevKit

Just make sure you set the version field to 6.9.90.

Cheers,
-Jan
