    Perl Strawberry Flavoured and Portable
    There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
    Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.
      "When I'm on windows I use Strawberry Perl" - portable flavour too. Otherwise "Whatever comes with my OS" - OS X or Ubuntu.

      So I had to vote for it :P I could not resist the temptation.

      I should have voted "compile myself" (I have over 200 versions of perl by now on different architectures).

        I should have voted "compile myself"

        This does indeed raise certain meta-poll questions that are statistically insignificant. It also makes me wonder whether you are actually a sophisticated AI program that can compile itself, which leads to all sorts of other philosophical and existential questions. :)

        (I have over 200 versions of perl by now on different architectures).

        200 versions?! (Read that like 50 watts!) How do you manage all that?
