in reply to ActiveState’s Perl Installer

Long before any of this, I became shy about recommending ActivePerl due to their restrictive license and "fancy" install that can require an extra reboot and confuses people about what is needed to make Perl work.

Feel free to use an alternate port of Perl from the official list. I've heard good things about SiePerl and I've had great luck with IndigoPerl (but be aware that the default Apache config files, both the main ones and the ones for the "Perl Console", give the world access to some Apache sample scripts which have known security problems so you need to change those before running Apache or using the "Perl Console" -- and if you don't start Apache, then there is no security problem).
