orange has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi please tell me if there is something wrong in my procedure to use activestate perl and strawberry installed on the same partition: i am using "activestate perl 510" and "strawberry perl" on the same windows xp partition, as follows: 1-rename activestate perl folder to something else such as perl510 2-Download Padre 0.41 from http://padre.perlide.org/download.html and install the Padre Standalone Plus Six on Windows. wich contains strawberry perl , and rakudo perl6 plugin. 3- if you want, upgrade from 0.41 to a recent version as explained in the download page. 4- run padre ide and tune it as explained also in that page , close it. now if you want to run activestate perl just rename the folder "strawberry" to "strawberry_bak" and rename perl510 to perl, if you want strawberry just rename perl to perl510 and rename strawberry_bak to strawberry, try typing perl -v in each case and you will see it is working and all related programming. 5- it is more practical to make a bat file to rename folders automatically for you and launch the correct perl you want. 6- and just make a copy for perl and strawberry perl in a safe place in case any mistake., 7- the only inconvenience is that when you want to double click *.pl file when the strawberry perl is the current perl. but this is not a big problem. type perl zz.pl instead. i am just wondering why the people in this thread: http://szabgab.com/blog/2009/08/1249553120.html find it difficult to coexist the two perls??. just rename the folders as suitable and every thing is ok whats your opinion. ps: if you want to try perl6 using padri, just choose select File -> New -> perl 6 script, then insert your code in the opened page. and run it. regards
