Out of sheer curiosity why stick at 5.8?
No particular reason. I upgraded once from ActivePerl-5.6.1.635 to 5.8 (back in 2003) and then just remained there. Then I finally decided to upgrade 2 months ago, but it didn't go well. I just found this note dated 12/22/2012 that I posted to Perl Beginners. I wrote both parts of this: ___________________________________________________ Please ignore the post below. The answer is that it tries to install to C:/Perl64, but for some odd reason never creates that directory, or at least I can't see it or get to it by typing the address into file explorer, even though it says it installs fine. This version of ActiveState also won't install over the older version. You have to delete the older version to get this to install. I don't think ActiveState is doing such a great job of maintaining this Perl for non-business users. That is my opinion. It's not working now, so I will have other questions to post soon. ___________________________________________________ Just tried to upgrade from 5.8.0 to 5.16.1 (64bit) on one of my machines. Ran this: ActivePerl-5.16.1.1601-MSWin32-x64-296175.msi and it installed fine, but I can't find it. I normally keep Perl in C:/Perl, but when I go there it's still 5.8.0. I did a search for 'active' and '16.1' and 'Perl' and 'bin', but can't find it anywhere. I also checked the documentation for install location, but didn't find it. This is on Win7. I just found at this location: http://tinyurl.com/dxmh9oe that "Perl is installed by default in |C:\Perl". That is where I want it, but it doesn't look like it whet there. I have perl.exe, perl5.6.1.exe, and perl5.8.0.exe files in C:/Perl/bin. The newest file in that directory is libeay32.dll from 2/2012. | Very odd. If anybody knows where it installs please let me know. Mike Flannigan
