Re: Perl 64-bit versions

I've been running Perls on x86_64/Linux since the 5.10 era without any problems pertaining to bitness.

Upgrade to the most recent stable, which as of now is 5.14.2.

Your prebuilt options for Windows are ActiveState Perl, Strawberry Perl, DWIM Perl. Citrus Perl appears to be stuck on 5.12.

Upgrade to the most recent stable, which as of now is 5.14.2. Why? I'm not being facetious. Is it as good as 5.14.1? Better? Only slightly worse? What made you upgrade from 5.14.1 to 5.14.2?

Since all the minor versions are supposed to contain only bug fixes (and no new features), in theory 5.14.2 should be better than 5.14.1, which in turn should be better than 5.14.0 In practice I didn't run into any problems with either 5.14.1 or 5.14.2, which I've both used for several months (though on linux, and without threads).
