Although I do not disagree with any of the arguments given for not using ActiveState Perl, I fell that it does offer advantages to the Windows user who knows little or nothing of Unix. The first is ease of installation. You download the file appropriate to your version of windows, click on it, and wait for the installation to complete. The second is documentation. Documentation of ActiveState features and windows procedures is merged with the perl documents in an easy-to-use form. The third is the GUI interface to their package management utility (PPM). The windows user should find this intuitive. True, the default depository does not have every module in CPAN. However, you can be confident that the modules that it does have will work in your environment. (My installation does include Win32::GUITest. Check it out marinersk)
