Hello lovely mungers,

I read this thread. I'm returning to Perl for an easy solution to an important problem (child safety system) . I took advice and noted Strawberry Perl was ok, latest install is this month and SHA1 is good! Got to be a worthwhile endeavour.

I installed said varient and read their readme.txt. I'm keen on a helpful IDE so used their readme to install Padre.

OMG - that is the most painful and frightening installation i've ever seen. I have no idea what I have done to my new PC. So many warnings and some fails. test summary:

I'm keen to know whether this is a usual deployment, if I need to worry (have no full log but can share what I captured at the end). I thought PERL was a living language. I do not believe the Monks have all past on due to C19 :) love a little help here, v basic reqs. Ta. (Sorry can't cope with dictatorial formatting - the help wasn't very - i'll try harder next time)
