While I use and recommended Strawberry over Activestate I don't believe your statement to be true. Besides, I was specifically addressing Strawberry perl builds of Wx, on Windows 10 (e.g. this pass). Update:/We/Wx/	[reply]

I never said I preferred Activestate, to the contrary I agree with you that Strawberry is better. You can't load Wx module or any module with activestate because it requires dmake which comes with the non free version. Strawberry perl is unable to use Prima, Wx, Tk, Tkx or any gui libraries except Win32::GUI	[reply]

While it is difficult to build them from source using cpanm etc, PPMs for Tk and GTK can be obtained from http://sisyphusion.tk/ppmindex.html. I've been using the Gtk PPMs for some time now with Strawberry Perl and they work perfectly well. I've never tried the Tk PPM, but have no reason expect it will not work. The PPMs might also work with ActivePerl, but it is many years since I used that distribution.	[reply]

I didn't say that you preferred ActiveState, and dmake is easy to install anyway, on supported versions, Re^4: It's 2019 and still no Wx for strawberry perl.	[reply]

May be you use a older ActiveState Perl version AKA legacy build? Then you can‘t install modules. You need to buy a license as far as i remember. But you where talking about Strawberry... «The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe» `perl -MCrypt::CBC -E 'say Crypt::CBC->new(-key=>'kgb',-cipher=>"Blowfish")->decrypt_hex($ENV{KARL});'`Help	[reply] [d/l]

++ After a while you need to play for access to certain PPM repositories IIRC. Both ActiveState and Strawberry can install via cpan or PPM. For AS you do need to install MinGW (`ppm install MinGW`) if you want the compiler/build tools. Personally I prefer Strawberry, the distro is just less hassle as far as I'm concerned. I'm not sure I understand the point OP is trying to make.	[reply] [d/l]
