Hence my question. What is the difference between the binary ports that
Activestate provides
and the binary ports that CPAN provides? Over and above the Perl
Package Manager and the
Windows-specific modules for the Windows Activestate Distribution?
Seems to be a duplication
of effort
I don't know, but do they use the same compiler ?
Is the AS PPM site compatible with the CPAN version ? If not, I'd
opt for the PPM compatible version from AS.
Yes, but what has me curious and a bit confused is that Activestate also
provides Perl Binary Distributions for Mac OS X, Solaris 6+, and
Linux. I'm wondering how these differ from the Perl Binary
Distributions provided on the CPAN site. Value-added stuff???
