I have come across other Perl distros for Windows, with varying degrees of support and stability. I even came across a distribution packaged with Apache the only version of mod_perl that I've ever seen actually work in Windows. It was stable, but the configuration was finicky. But the ActivePerl distro is just about as good as you can get in Windows, without formatting and installing a real OS.

It's Active State's Perl distribution. Yes, it's just as good as the original (as far as I know). I believe it's the only Perl distro available for Windows, as well. They used to also make PerlEx which is mod_perl for IIS. Seemed to work great, but they abandoned it because there wasn't enough market for Perl on IIS, oddly enough :) Greg /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
