If you like, but 5.14 will be fine if you want to stick with your
current setup. Just don't install the secure email modules. You won't
miss them
All I can tell you is that all the modules install just fine with
Strawberry Perl 5.16.2.1. There would be no installer otherwise.
And those extra modules are normally installed by cpan/cpanm without telling
it to bypass tests?
Yep
Maybe SP 5.16.2.1 (or earlier, but more recent than 5.14.x) has a dll or
something that provides random number support for those parts of Windows
perl that can't use the /dev/random that unixy systems seem to need - for
which EGD was some sort of workaround.
That could be the case. Older versions of those modules worked in 5.12
(what the previous installer used), but I skipped 5.14 for get_iplayer,
so there may have been a wobble there. Just the fact that module exists
with "ButMaintained" in its tells you all you need to know.
