Hi,
I have released Citrus Perl - a binary distribution of Perl for Windows,
Mac OS X and Linux.
The aim of Citrus Perl is to provide a common desktop Perl development
environment on the three supported platforms. For this release wxPerl is
the only supported GUI toolkit.
Citrus Perl is released under the Perl Artistic License with no
proprietary components so you are free to use it however the Perl
Artistic License allows. Some included modules link to libraries that
carry their own open source licenses and, of course, wxWidgets is
distributed under the wxWindows license.
Citrus Perl is not intended to be a replacement for the system Perl or
your own locally compiled Perl. It is a minimal platform for desktop
development and distribution.
For Windows users Citrus Perl comes with a bundled gcc compiler from
mingw-w64. You may use a Microsoft Compiler with Citrus Perl if you wish.
For users of Strawberry Perl who do not wish to work in Citrus Perl but
would like the common set of wxPerl components, a Citrus Pack for
Strawberry Perl is provided.
So - now there's no excuses for not starting that cross-platform app
you've been thinking about.
Citrus Perl is at http://www.citrusperl.org/citrusperl/
regards
Mark
