Re^2: Active State Perl Installation Issue on Windows 7 64bit

in thread Active State Perl Installation Issue on Windows 7 64bit

Rolled back in this context means Uninstall, clean out ActiveState registry keys, remove Perl directory, reboot, install earlier version.

I'll give the 32 bit version a try to get me going, but I will need to figure this out at some point because "they" will want to use the 64 bit version on the 64 bit servers.

Thanks for the help.

At some point, I figure that Active State will get this sorted out. Right now is "not yet". I think that you will be happy with the 32 bit version. I don't know why you want to run Tk on the server. But that is beside this Tk and 64 bit support issue. BTW, some of these 64 bit apps run slower if the underlying memory is just 32 bit. Mileage varies. Greater than 2GB is the "trigger" requiring 64 bit. Other than that I see no problem.	[reply]
