I'm just getting into seeing what all this various Ice Cream of Perl is, but it seems interesting and seeing as how there has been a lot of history on this site with this version of Perl I think it might be time to move. ActiveState was nice at one time, but I have been feeling for a long time that its becoming more and more hobbled on Windows, or rather I tend to find the issues more than others. When I have trouble even getting help subjects to show up in the ppm then I tend to feel that something under the hood is wrong.

Of course now I'd need to figure out whether or not Strawberry or Chocolate are best for me, I know Perl and Windows fairly well so whether I want the GUI tools or just a nice and comfy command line I have no idea yet. But I like these choices I am given, more is always better.
