For some reason my web hosting provider is going to shut down as of May 1st 2010.
This is a very bad news because I will not be able to pay for another provider offering the same services.
I might as well shut everything down rather than use some cheap lower quality provider.
be advised that if i can't find a viable alternative, this website will shut down as of May 1st 2010.

Update 04/25/2010 : Found a new cheap (temporary) web hoster
It'll be okay for now…

The solution is quite easy: uninstall and reinstall the latest "legacy" version (ActivePerl 5.8.8.822) which is fully functional and you'll have more luck installing those packages!
Of course you won't have those fancy new features like say(), given() {when(){…}…}, etc but still it'll work like a 5.8.x does!!!

I'm working on an install thingy to make your life easier (instead of a DIY tutorial), and I think that I'm going to make a diff patch too.

New stuff (in smokeping 2.2.4):
- "Ajax based ineractive graph zooming.", and it works (see above) :-)
- "Multi Target Graphs" (not tried yet)
- "Master/Slave setup for multi source smokeping deployments" (doesn't work under windows [for now] since the fping version I'm using doesn't support source address setting (-S))
