Is there a Native Perl for Windows

I would say that perl is native to unix, "liquid unix" as bliako says. Strawberry Perl has made Windows bearable for me in the past, but using cygwin has been where I usually end up.

«… using cygwin has been where I usually end up.» Please see Strawberry Perl: my @INC gets/is destroyed on XP after some days about this. And especially what planetscape wrote. Best regards, Karl «The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe»	[reply]

And especially what planetscape wrote The issues that you and she outlined can be avoided by paying due diligence to the content of your PATH. On my Windows machines, there are no perls in my default path. If I want a perl in my path, I have to add the one I want - by opening a Cygwin bash shell, or by executing a batch file (portable Strawberry's portableshell.bat, or one of my own customized .bat files). That way, I'm generally set up to avoid those types of problems, without even having to think about them. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
