Thanks. I use Windows at work, and had a similar set up with multiple versions of standalone Strawberry. Both Windows and Perl on Windows have grown on me other the years. Anyway, I sort of rolled my own simple version of perlbrew using a bat script to modify a symlink (Junctions) pointing to the "active" version of Perl.

like UnxUtils, gnuwin32 has made working on Windows much more enjoyable. I dabbled with the linux subsystem, but it's too inter-connected to windows binaries for me.

    If that's the case, I'm sure you'll find great value in berrybrew. Its purpose is to allow you to manage multiple versions of Perl, and even has a handy little UI that runs in the system tray to allow you to switch between them, install new versions etc.

      Take praise from a clueless newbie for what it is worth! "berrybrew" is wonderful - only wish for Strawberry Perl 5.34 to be released.

        And 5.36!

    I've always wondered how those work. Are they easy to work with? Can you post your script?

    Thanks...

      Unfortunately I just lost access to that machine. Sorry.
