As a primarily Win32 Perlmonk, I've used ActiveState's ActivePerl for over a year and a half now, and I'm happy with it. I've run it under both the Win32 build of Apache and IIS. It's decently fast, and the ppm program distributed with it makes it fairly easy to install modules on a Win32 system(a bigger pain than you *nix monks probably realize). However, over the last week or two I've seen IndigoPerl mentioned an inordinately high number of times here on Perlmonks.

I've never used it, so I'd like to hear some tales of woe or success from those Win32-monks here that have. If any of you use IndigoPerl(or refuse/no longer use it for some reason), reply here and state why.

-Hoping one day there is some implementation of Perl that comes built into Windows so he could distribute scripts to people without explaining to them what ActivePerl and IndigoPerl are...
