Re^3: [OT?] A strange finding: Sieperl (flavors)

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.

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]
