Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello monks.
I was just wondering why ActiveState seemingly takes an inordinate amount of time to release the latest version of Perl, e.g., Perl 5.18.0 was released on May 18th and as of today, August 1st, they are still listing the current version as 5.16.3. I installed Strawberry Perl 5.18.0 in an effort to obtain the latest version of BioPerl (ugh...still 1.6.9) but it is not available for ActivePerl beyond 5.10 and building from source was unsuccessful (build errors).
