For some reason, the most recent releases of Strawberry Perl didn't make it into the zip file on my last release (there should be 5.24.1 and 5.22.3).

Fetching from the repo works properly, but not the zip file. I just spun up a Windows AWS instance to test this after I read your output, and will have this corrected today.

Thanks!

update: I've fixed the issue in the v1.10 branch, but I am going to do more work on it before I merge in the changes to the master branch. For now, if you copy the contents of this file and overwrite the C:\berrybrew-programs\berrybrew\data\perls.json file with the copied contents, you'll immediately have access to the updated Perls (5.24.1_xx and 5.22.3_xx).

Thank you for your help, stevieb.

I am pleased with the progress that I have made this evening.

I will see you tomorrow.
