Whats the difference between ActiveState command and CPAN command ?
I was under the impression that whatever Perl I install, commands will be the same. I thought, CPAN is central repository for modules and if I need a module, I can download it from there. I did not know that CPAN has commands too.
Where ca I find CPAN commands ?
How many different flavors of Perl are there for windows ? Whats the reason that so many flavors of Perl are created for windows ? Can anyone create a separate flavor of Perl ? Are the commands very much different for different flavors of Perl ? Are these commands designed separately ? Is it rrequired to program all the commands separatelt or one can keep whatever commands he wants to keep as same and change the commands wherever he wants ? If I have ActiveState perl and I want to change behavior of a command , can I do that ? How to access command files ? How to find commands for these different flavors ?

whats the reason that "perl makefile.pl" gives compiler message for c++ ? Is "makefile" C file or Perl file ?
How can I use INCLUDE as environment variable ? I dont see it in my liost of environment variables. Do I need to create INCLUDE and LIB separately on my computer ? What values do I need to put in INCLUDE and LIB ?
