I still use ActiveState 5.8.0  Never had a good reason to
upgrade.  The module list is OK, not great.  Par does
not work perfectly with it, but kinda works.  That is
one of the few complaints I have about it.

This is the first I have heard of Strawberry.  I don't plan to
switch right now, but I'll keep my eye on it.

I use Perl a whole lot and can't really do without it.


I see now that Strawberry is good for the module selection:
