Or better yet, use perl via docker or virtualbox. In looking to see if App::perlbrew worked on windows (couldn't really tell), I found an article about something called berrybrew that's supposed to do the same thing under Strawberry Perl. Usually when I need to do things on windows I: a) cry, then 2) usually end up installing cygwin.	[reply]

I've never had any problems using Strawberry Perl, and I've been running it since the beta versions. The Virtualbox route seems needlessly complicated to be, a virtual machine to deal with/manage just to run perl? Docker, you'd need to carefully examine the pros and cons depending on the situation. Regardless Jerry_J was clear that switching to Strawberry was painless.	[reply]

I wasn't trying to talk anyone out of strawberry Perl, only covering options. Seemed environment isolation was important to OP, which is I why suggested docker/virtualbox in the first place and why I (re)suggestion berrybrew. Dockerhub has quite an extensive collection of Perl containers btw and Docker runs on Windows, soo.... not out of line whatsoever.	[reply]
