in reply to Is ActivePerl repositories go free again?

Hi,

Totally agree with Marto. I had used both activestate and strawberry perl and found that the latter was much easier to use. Modules installation is a breeze. Best part is the portable Perl installation that strawberry provides. You can install multiple versions of them.

Moving from v 5.18 to 5.24 was much easier. Just pointed the scripts to the new version while leaving the old version of Perl intact. So if there's a way you can move later to strawberry perl, that will be really great.

Thinkpad T430 with Ubuntu 16.04.2 running perl 5.24.1 thanks to plenv!!
