Hi all,

I have built Perl from its source on a Windows XP SP3 machine using MS C++ compiler from MS Visual C++ 2010.

This built I think is 5.8 or 5.9, I can't remember exactly, I only know that I could not use given/when statement, so it should be before 5.10.

Now, I would want to use the latest version of Perl, but I don't know if there is a way to uninstall the previous built? since I did some research but I did not have any success. May be is unregistering Perl?

I don't mind having different builds, but I would like how to handle them by making one the activated one? uninstalling or unregistering the oldest one?

Thanks in advanced.
