Re^3: Which is better: ActiveState or Strawberry Perl?

As you are a current ActivePerl user and I haven't touched it in, as I noted, ~2 years, I'm more than happy to bow to your more recent knowledge. I do recall using the PPM GUI: that probably prompted what I wrote. I'll put an update in my post.

On a completely different topic, I think your mouse button got stuck as you seem to have posted your reply 17 times. The visual effect was quite interesting as my Chatterbox appeared to erupt in a shower of "root says You've got a reply to Re: Which is better? from BrowserUk at Re^2: Which is better?" messages. Nice one! :-) Pity about the mouse. :-(

as you seem to have posted your reply 17 times Yes. Sorry about that. Seems to have been some weird interaction between a longstanding known increasingly frequent PM bug and the fact that I replied to your post when it was in the "Notes" section. Trust me, it cost me (and NodeReaper -- many thanks to the unnamed monk that operated tirelessly behind that id this morning!) considerable effort to ensure that the mess was cleaned up :) I'll strive harder to notice when the time is between 8.00 and 9.00 am UTC and resist the urge to post between those times in future. It's a shame this problem still persists after all these years, but I guess that what comes from having to rely on security through obscurity, and the whims of a single godhead. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. The start of some sanity?	[reply]

On a completely different topic, I think your mouse button got stuck as you seem to have posted your reply 17 times. PerlMonks prevents identical replies, so as usual, BrowserUk has stumbled upon a db-server hiccup -- they happen after midnight occasionally, but BrowserUk has a knack for getting singled out, it completely missed me this time around :)	[reply]
