Update: The most recent release of berrybrew now includes the 5.36 and 5.38 version information, so no change of options are required to use them. As always, you can if you like review the Changes log to see what else has changed.

I forked the Strawberry Perl repo and updated the releases.json file, which berrybrew uses to know what perls are available.

One small gotcha... normally it gets this file from Strawberry Perl website, but nobody currently has access to manage it. I've created a PR to get the releases.json updated, but until the PR is merged, we can use my forked version (I will update this thread with what will become the official URL after the PR is merged. After the Strawberry site is back to being actively maintained, the temporary link can be removed, but will going forward remain valid).

To use the new perls, we have to update a berrybrew option that specifies where we get our version information:

berrybrew options download_url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stevi
+eb9/strawberryperl.com/gh-pages/releases.json

[download]

Then fetch the new versions:

berrybrew fetch

[download]

Now they're available:

berrybrew available

[download]

Here's the entire operation:

> berrybrew options download_url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ste
+vieb9/strawberryperl.com/gh-pages/releases.json

        download_url:    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stevieb9/st
+rawberryperl.com/gh-pages/releases.json

> berrybrew  fetch
