AS Perl Community Edition is sunsetting, experience with ActiveState Platform?

LanX has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

my client who is fuzzy in managing his licenses, got an email from AS saying the Community Edition is sunsetting and asked me for my opinion.

From what I see this will be a new approach obsoleting PPM ... and promising to improve security and flexibility.

Does anyone have experience yet with ActiveState Platform they want to share?

Revisiting ActivePerl has been recently posted to Reddit. An interesting read. I'm not impressed by ActiveState's current offerings - but that might say more about me than anything else. However, I'm a little concerned that, 15 weeks after perl-5.34.0 was released, Strawberry Perl's latest offering is still version 5.32.1. And I've seen no indication that Strawberry Perl-5.34.0 is going to be released any time soon; in fact I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever be released. Perhaps more ominously, I haven't even seen anyone asking "where is it ?". Cheers, Rob	[reply]
