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!

    Consider the portable option, you could run Strawberry side bybside with ActiveState for evaluation purposes.

      Excellent, thanks -- and after reading up, it sure sounds like this portable option could have resolved a deployability issue I'd had at a previous job where I wasn't allowed to formally install Perl, but could copy files back and forth and execute programs on the other end.

      If so, this would surely be a nice tool to have in the back pocket, in the event that ever comes up again.

        I keep a copy of Strawberry along with a mini cpan mirror (created using CPAN::Mini) on the SD card in my phone. It's been very hand in the past.
