in thread Win32::API in perl v5.20.2

OMG I just read the front page on your Strawberry Perl link and my (software development) mouth is watering.

If it lives up to its front page hype, I can see why so many of you grow Stawberries rather than live in an Active State.

Normally I dread changing platforms, doing upgrades, etc. I can't recall the last time I was actually excited about the prospect of a change like this.

Hmm. And I have a three-day weekend coming up. Hmmm...

      Wow, almost to the exactly one year.

      Then, I merely entertained the idea of Strawberry, based on all the recommendations. A sort of removal of the negative impetus to not switch.

      For whatever reason, this thread got me in a mood to actually go look -- and so now it is not merely an absence of negative, but the existence of positive motivators on this front.

      At this rate, I might be installing it by July 2016!

        Consider the portable option, you could run Strawberry side bybside with ActiveState for evaluation purposes.

    Everything on the Strawberry Perl's front page is true of ActivePerl too.
      Oops, not the external library parts, but Win32::API doesn't use any.

    You should be able to use them in parallel if you take the "portableZIP" edition. At least if you call your scripts with perl [switches] scriptname.pl
