For reasons of corporate policy I'm forced to have
Windows NT as my desktop system.
Me too!
Until recently, I was using Indigo Perl. But I have
upgraded my Cygwin installation, and then compiled
Perl 5.6.1.
There was one major problem with Indigo Perl: I could not
compile XS modules. Yet, I must admit that I have not
tried to compile XS modules under Cygwin yet.
As for Active Perl, I did not try it because installation
requires that you be connected to the web, and I know that
where I work, HTTP requests are logged and quota are
computed... :-(
