in reply to Windows precompiled binaries or DIY compile

Despite the fact that www.strawberry.com can only provide version 5.32 of Perl (which is what I use on my Windows 10 operating system), it seems that one can go to https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/releases/tag/SP_5380_5361 and have a choice of version 5.36 or 5.38. I have not tried it, because my computer is really slow and I usually use Google Colab, because it is faster and I can create Colaboratory notebooks (similar to Jupyter notebooks) that document what it is I was trying to do and easily pick up where I left off.

    5.36 and 5.38 both work flawlessly on Windows 10, I've tested them extensively after adding the ability for berrybrew to install and manage them for you :)

      Thank you. berrybrew installed Perl version 5.38 on my Windows 10 operating system last night.

      I installed the latest berrybrew from https://github.com/stevieb9/berrybrew by clicking on the hyperlink “Click here to download the installer” in bold letters.

      I thought it was installing Perl version 5.38 as I watched the messages in the console window. I launched Command Prompt and typed berrybrew available and saw 5.38.0_64 installed and currently being used.

      I double-checked it using perl -v.

      I am impressed with what you have accomplished with berrybrew.

        Thank you! <3

        I personally don't even use Windows, other than to develop and test berrybrew for people exactly like yourself. It's comments just like yours, and help I get from others that keep me moving forward with it.

        Here's to another year ;)
