Yes, you can use PPM-Profile to transfer your modules from 817 or earlier to a later ActivePerl release.
The main caveat is that it will only restore modules that:
a) have been installed by PPM originally
b) still exist in the PPM repository
Modules will also not be restored to exactly the same version, but to the latest version available from the repository.
Cheers,
-Jan

Is this an applicable option to 817 and earlier? More preferably can anyone share any experience(s) with rebuilding a large perl
install from 817 (or earlier) using this method?
