in reply to Perl on Windows Best Practices?

I would like to standardize on a single Perl, but which one? (Cygwin, Strawberry, ActiveState?)

  • I presently use both ActiveState Perl and Strawberry on Win7 OS. I preferred Starwberry Perl, for the way it install cpan modules 'out of the box' with little or no effort. However, using ActiveState is also cool but sometimes installing cpan modules could be a nightmare, only that I know how to wake when having bad dreams :)!
  • Plus the fact that Strawberry Perl is A 100% Open Source Perl for Windows that is exactly the same as Perl everywhere else, while ActiveState Perl have binary distributions of Perl for Win32 which is also free.
  • Check this: http://www.perl.org/get.html for more details.
