in reply to Installing Perl on a Windows PC

Don't install the AS package unless you absolutely have to do so. It doesn't totally function the same as the version installed by the MSI. ActiveState has this to say about the AS package: "The Windows AS Package provides NO uninstall functionality, and is recommended only if you are unable to install ActivePerl using the MSI installer." (The emphasis was added by me to drive how the point of this reply.)
