What do you use for ActivePerl?

I tried:

<packages>
<package id="perl" name="ActiveState Perl" revision="1" priority="800" 
reboot="false">
<check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 
1004' />
<install cmd='msiexec /qn /i 
%SOFTWARE%\perl\activeperl-5.10.0.1004-mswin32-x86-287188.msi 
PERL_PATH=Yes PERL_EXT=Yes' />
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /i 
%SOFTWARE%\perl\activeperl-5.10.0.1004-mswin32-x86-287188.msi 
PERL_PATH=Yes PERL_EXT=Yes' />
<remove cmd='msiexec /qn /x {061CE7E5-0115-4BB6-8381-47C602B98C7D}' />
</package>
</packages>


Unfortunately it seems to fail if ActivePerl 5.8.8 is installed, as the 
MSI package seems to be unable to do upgrades :-(
