in reply to Has anyone compared Cygwin Perl to AS Perl?

For reasons of corporate policy I'm forced to have Windows NT as my desktop system.
Me too!

Until recently, I was using Indigo Perl. But I have upgraded my Cygwin installation, and then compiled Perl 5.6.1.
There was one major problem with Indigo Perl: I could not compile XS modules. Yet, I must admit that I have not tried to compile XS modules under Cygwin yet.
As for Active Perl, I did not try it because installation requires that you be connected to the web, and I know that where I work, HTTP requests are logged and quota are computed... :-(
