Currently, we use VanillaPerl. I suppose you could install it along-side ActivePerl. We chose this because: 1) It is freely redistributable 2) CPAN works, so the same instructions work across platforms. The only thing is you need to run a shebang utility from dists/win32 on your installation. > > I do have a fallback -- I'm running VMware Server on the machine and > have an openSUSE 11.1 guest built.
