in reply to Does anyone use Perl on Windows?

I moved back to Windows a few months ago after working in Debian/arch/etc. for nearly 15 years. Way back in the days when Chocolate Perl was still a thing, I used to manually swap out different versions of Perl by changing the directory names. :)

This time around, my workflow with perlbrew just didn't fit with how berryperl works. I tried for a day or two but gave up. Minor things like perlbrew's 'switch-off' becoming 'unconfig' in berrybrew for some reason and I didn't want to convert all the little things I'd designed over the years for testing different versions of perl. For the sake of time, I just went with WSL instead. So, I'm on Windows and still use perlbrew.

If I ever required direct Strawberry Perl support, I wouldn't reach for anything other than berrybrew though so I'd hate to see the project go unmaintained. I totally understand not wanting to maintain software you don't personally use though.
