"Learning Perl on Win32 Systems" is still being published only because it

Unix-bias. For the third and fourth editions of Learning Perl, we've worked
hard to reduce the Unix bias, such that the books now have no known
win32-hostile sections. In fact, if you use Strawberry Perl instead of
ActiveState Perl, it'll match exactly.
Interesting. I don't think I'd heard of Strawberry Perl before now. Do
you recommend it over ActiveState?
No. Not ready for prime time. Getting there of course. But I would not
want to discourage you from trying it and helping the project if you
find problems.
