in thread Which one is better, Active state or Strawberry Perl ?

I don’t understand. All the versions given are indeed the versions of Perl included in the distributions.

All the versions may be easily verified via the links given, except for the Cygwin version, for which it is necessary to run setup.exe.

Or am I missing something?

    perl version numbers are 1.2.3 (or 1.002003) not 1.2.3.4 or 1.2.3-4

    5.14.2-3 is perl 5.14.2 (5.014002)

    5.16.2.1 is perl 5.16.2 (5.016002)
