devhelp => {
location => 'http://ppd.develop-help.com/ppd',
Type => 'Webpage',
Active => 1,
Notes => 'Imager and HTML::Embperl',
# this repository contains a mix of 5.6 and 5.8 packages, but
# each individual module is for only one of the 2 versions. :(
PerlV => [ 5.6, 5.8 ],
PerlO => ['MSWin32'],
},

Not to mention do a new Imager build.
