To all of the concerns, Active State is moving very fast towards business. Many of the important modules that you got initially are no longer available for free, Ex: DBD-MySQL Win32::GUI The stable versions like 5.10 do not provide many of these modules. You need a business edition and it costs $1000. Your very notion of Opensource is compromised.	[reply]

You appear to be mis-informed... having a problem with orthography or spreading FUD about ActiveState. C:\>perl -v This is perl 5, version 16, ....
