Er What is this DCOM? I thought I did not see any mention of this in
the ActiveState site.
I just downloaded (last night, in fact) and installed the Windows Installer
from the ActiveState site and then successfully installed ActivePerl 5.6.1
on my Windows98 Lite (Windows 98 with 95 interface). Works I think. Just
tested it with the simple example.pl script.

Subject: RE: Perl for Windows 98
--come on guys! *lol*
--let me start from the beginning:
sometime ago, i asked for, and got,
perl training. it was cool. i got a
better understanding of what
was going on, methods, practical
application, etc ...
--the training was ON RedHat 7.2,
perl version 5.6.1. so it's NOT that
i WANT to install it on Windows ... it's not
for me! seriously! would i let you
guys down like THAT? (answer: no)
--however, the other folks in the class
don't have access to the server so
readily. some have to use their
laptops to get stuff done. while they're
on the road, they can write a few things
and move it on the production server
with a few modifications.
--i have no control over what OS they
put on their laptops, but they did ask
for Perl for Windows (Windows '98 no less).
--so THAT is the *real* reason why i need
Perl for Windows.

Sure. They're called Windows 2000 and Linux
I wouldn't touch Win98 with a bargepole. Especially for developing on. As
soon as you get a perl script that goes rouge and starts eating memory it
will be much harder to kill off in Win98 than a proper OS.
You could always install the 5.22 version from activestate. It's hidden away
in the older versions of perl section IIRC.
