Re^2: [OT?] A strange finding: Sieperl

I personally believe that not only my impatience is growing better, but my hubris as well! (Which makes me hope I'll become a good programmer shortly!) In fact, there are quite a few of them which I had never ever heard of, either.

OTOH I notice that the list is missing nothing less than vanilla and strawberry!! (Which is the only reason why I'm replying rather than /msg'ing you - perhaps someone would want to update it...)

I could see some arguing that vanilla/strawberry are not binary distributions of perl (being binary distributions of a C compiler environment bundled with Perl source code), but I agree that it only makes sense to mention and link to them from that page, even if a disclaimer is required to quell pedant objections. - tye	[reply]

I could see some arguing that vanilla/strawberry are not binary distributions of perl I personally believe that adamk should have the last word on it and at indeed Strawberry's own description at CPAN says: Strawberry Perl is a binary distribution of Perl for the Windows operating system. It includes a bundled compiler and pre-installed modules that offer the ability to install XS CPAN modules directly from CPAN. (with additional emphasis added by me.) `--` If you can't understand the incipit, then please check the IPB Campaign.	[reply] [d/l]
