It is designed to be *more* compatible with CPAN, if that's what you're asking. I suppose that it's not any less compatible with Windows than ActivePerl is. And that's also the reason for making another flavor - ActivePerl wasn't compatible enough with CPAN. (That's how i understand it, feel free to correct me.) And there are more than 2 flavors for Windows - there's also Cygwin, a Unix-like working environment that runs on top of Windows (not a VM). It includes bash, Perl, gcc and many more familiar tools from Unix. I use it a lot, although it has its problems, too. -- אָמִיר אֱלִישָע אַהֲרוֹנִי Amir Elisha Aharoni http://aharoni.wordpress.com "We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace." - T.
