Did you install from the msi package ? Yes. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo.

Weird that they differ. The 'perl -V' output is derived from $summary in Config_heavy.pl (so you could hard code in the correct value there if you wanted), but I couldn't find where $version_patchlevel_string is set. The bug may not be of great consequence, but should probably be reported to ActiveState. It would be a good idea to check that both $^V and $] report v5.10.1 and 5.010001 (resp). Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Yes. Both the internal version vars report the right thing: `c:\test>perl -E"say $^V, '-', $]" v5.10.1-5.010001` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
