Hi there

I've been developing a while in Perl (strawBerry 5.12.3.0) on Windows. Now my laptop is slowly dying and have to move everything. I thought by reinstalling the same Perl version and installing via CPAN I would get an identical environment, it seems not.

That is not a problem by it's self, but Win32::API doesn't seem to be compatible with Win32:SystemInfo, I filed a bug report: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=83237, but live goes on. I ran into a blog: http://gugod.org/2010/09/migrate-to-new-perl-with-cpan-autobundle/ with explanation of autobundle :)

My question is do I have to use the same Strawberry Perl (binairy) version on my new machine or can I take/and should I take the latest install binairies?

Thx in advance
