5.6.1 is the short way of saying 5.006001 (or 5.006001 is the long way of saying 5.6.1 depending on how you look at it) `$ perl -MConfig -le'print for $], $Config{version}' 5.008008 5.8.8` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Ok, so version 5.6.1. That's a bit different to 5.0 :-) -- See the Copyright notice on my home node. Perl training courses	[reply]

You mean to tell me that's how the version 5.6 is displayed? Lol. Great. So if I decide to install 5.10+ and I want to have that as the active version I can go through the steps of installing activestate's version and simply add an entry in the environment path variable as well as the script that handles .pl scripts in IIS? Then I can just remove whatever entries are there for 5.6 in the path and the reference in IIS? I'm guessing this will require an unfortunate reboot? Thanks for the info.	[reply]
