Message-ID: <4935951.SWpp0rCAVW@broq>

Hi all,

Does anyone want to suggest a location and/or something to hack on?  It might 
be a little cooler and rainy.  Lucky Lab SE, or NW has pizza?

Thanks,
Eric

Many years ago I built some scripts for a local ISP.  They ran for many 
years despite it being on Windows systems.

They lost a server and are rebuilding it from scratch.  Problem is they 
want a free-ish distribution.

   I'm thinking Strawberry Perl but haven't followed the Perl world much 
lately.

I did find an article by brian d foy in 2011.  The only thing not 
covered how admin friendly it is.

How easy or complex is it to install.  How about adding modules.  I will 
probably be the one doing that and I am really out of touch with the 
Windows world.

Any and all thoughts, suggestions, clue-sticks are welcome.


TIA,
Rod

Strawberry Perl is super simple to install on Windows using one of the msi
files.  It includes a lot of packages.  For me, adding more has been as
simple as using 'cpan install' from the command line.

It even includes a fully functional C compiler and infrastructure so no
problems installing XS modules (thank goodness).

Thanks Dana.

This helps a lot.

I remember using PPM for many packages especially those that used XS 
modules.  Because ... no compiler so couldn't use cpan.

I can also recommend Strawberry Perl. You may also find https://chocolatey.org/
and https://chocolatey.org/packages/StrawberryPerl useful. Note that we
maintain a page with resources here: http://perl-begin.org/platforms/windows/ .
