Re^2: OSX Seperate Install: PerlBrew or Activestate?

[jand]

ActivePerl includes a Perl::Critic GUI frontend (the screenshot is for the Windows version, but the GUI is included in the OS X and Linux releases of ActivePerl as well).

ActivePerl also includes the Tkx module that is used to implement the PPM and Perl::Critic GUIs. However, it does not include wxPerl, you'll have to install it yourself from the wxperl PPM repo, or build it with the CPAN shell. But that is no different from what you have to do when you use perlbrew either.

Actually its not included with ActivePerl, but its part of ActiveState's Perl Dev Kit

[jand]

Not true. It was originally released with the PDK only, but now is freely available with ActivePerl as well.

Disclaimer: I'm the ActiveState Perl tech lead, responsible for both ActivePerl and PDK releases, so I'm pretty sure about this. :)
