OMG I just read the front page on your Strawberry Perl link and my (software development) mouth is watering.
If it lives up to its front page hype, I can see why so many of you grow Stawberries rather than live in an Active State.
Normally I dread changing platforms, doing upgrades, etc. I can't recall the last time I was actually excited about the prospect of a change like this.
Hmm. And I have a three-day weekend coming up. Hmmm...

Wow, almost to the exactly one year.
Then, I merely entertained the idea of Strawberry, based on all the recommendations. A sort of removal of the negative impetus to not switch.
For whatever reason, this thread got me in a mood to actually go look -- and so now it is not merely an absence of negative, but the existence of positive motivators on this front.
At this rate, I might be installing it by July 2016!

Everything on the Strawberry Perl's front page is true of ActivePerl too.

Oops, not the external library parts, but Win32::API doesn't use any.

You should be able to use them in parallel if you take the "portableZIP" edition. At least if you call your scripts with perl [switches] scriptname.pl
