in reply to Cleaning %PATH% with WinBatch

berrybrew has a full blown UI that resides in the task bar that allows you to easily switch the perl you're using (it also allows installation, removal etc, but I digress).

The path stuff can be a nightmare. It took me a long time to sort it out and get it right.

    Thanks Steve,

    my colleague is already at it and I'll personally certainly test it out.

    Though otherwise stated in I couldn't find any mention of AS in Berrybrew's docs.

    We have a infrastructure with AS and plan to migrate to SB.

    But the fact that SB is still at 5.32 makes it necessary to plan for a future plan B return to AS ("Server edition") or even Linux.

    That's why I'm first looking at that minimalist but robust solution.

    Cheers Rolf

      You can add external perls through the virtual command. I don't recall if 'virtual' made it into the GUI; I'm pretty sure it's a CLI-only feature.

      After added, you can switch to, or use it just like any Strawberry Perl already managed by berrybrew.

      For example, berrybrew virtual activestate, then follow the prompts.
