    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

        The rumor mill has it that the original maintainer, kmx, stepped down and genio is slowly working on a new release.

        No answer on their github, but you aren't the only one to ask

        Oh ... I thought I was watching "All Activity" there, but it turns out I've only been watching "Paticipating and @mentions". (Now fixed.)

        Cheers,
