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).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
