actually ActiveState's Perl version was first in my %PATH%, but Strawberry Perl can happily coexist with that, provided that you run perl with the full path to the executable. please read about the details in my other post.

certainly something that i would like to test is making binary PPD files with Strawberry Perl, perhaps using something like PPM::Make from CPAN. this would be beneficial for those (let say less experienced) users that are more confortable running ActiveState Perl with binary distributions than compiling modules from source, and lets face it there are some hard to compile modules, like those that require external libraries, not to mention failing tests, etc. - you get my point. like others i think there's a "market" for both Perl distributions :)

anyway where is the best place to discuss something like this? the page from RT, the wiki? as far as i know there is no mailing-list related to Strawberry/Vanilla Perl...
UPDATE: sometimes i'm too lazy to even read! there is good information about this on the Win32 Perl Wiki.

thank you xdg for taking the time to answer this and for giving us this magnificent distribution.
