I usually consider the ASperl and Strawberry perl the native windows perls and, cygwin falls into the list of unix perls...
Except, for external bindings, where the package configuration might "check for windows first" and abort or do some win32 stuff. This breaks for cygwin since it does run on a windows OS so you will find all of windows there---however, if you check for "can this platform do unix" then cygwin pretty much builds most unix/linux packages. I'm fine with cygwin as either unix or windows depending on whether you hit one of the windows gotchas on the Alien::XXX build. --Chris On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 8:00 AM, David Nicol <davidni...@gmail.com> wrote: > > and for "windows" is meant Strawberry, Activestate, Cygwin, or other?
