    So I had to vote for it :P I could not resist the temptation.

    I should have voted "compile myself" (I have over 200 versions of perl by now on different architectures).

      This does indeed raise certain meta-poll questions that are statistically insignificant. It also makes me wonder whether you are actually a sophisticated AI program that can compile itself, which leads to all sorts of other philosophical and existential questions. :)

      200 versions?! (Read that like 50 watts!) How do you manage all that?

        External USB3 disk and a logical folder structure. I have at least two builds per released perl version: one threaded with using longdouble and one unthreaded. Both are 64bitall. I am also trying to revive some of my 32bit builds. Then I have several builds compiled with clan + address sanitizer, which are good to have available when doing XS stuff.

        Apart from that I have quite a bunch of perl builds on HP-UX and some on AIX.

        I do not use PerlBrew. I use Devel::PatchPerl and some manual insteraction on some points

        Using perl? perlbrew, perlall...
