The Strawberry Perl October 2009 Beta 2 versions (5.10.0.1-beta-2, 5.8.9.3-beta-2) are now available at http://strawberryperl.com/beta/ .
This release was built with an updated version of the builder modules than were used for the July 2009 versions (5.10.0.6/5.8.9.2) of Strawberry Perl. In particular, there is now a link to the release notes installed when Strawberry Perl is installed, and non-core modules Strawberry Perl installs are now in /strawberry/perl/vendor/lib, instead of /strawberry/perl/site/lib. Core modules that were upgraded after the decision to stop accepting changes for the 5.10.1 release of perl are included, and up-to-date support modules for Strawberry are included, as well. DBD::Pg, Imager, GD, Net::SMTP::TLS, Crypt::SSLeay (so LWP can now handle https:// sites), and Module::Signature are included. Current developer releases of BioPerl are now easily installable. (Just don't add SOAP::Lite as an optional dependency.) Release notes for the betas are at: http://strawberryperl.com/release-notes/5.10.1.0.beta.html and http://strawberryperl.com/release-notes/5.8.9.3.beta.html . Please report any bugs in the distribution to me, either on irc.perl.org/#win32, or by e-mailing me - but before you do, check the release notes to make sure that it hasn't already been reported. -- Curtis Jewell swords...@csjewell.fastmail.us %DCL-E-MEM-BAD, bad memory -VMS-F-PDGERS, pudding between the ears [I use PC-Alpine, which deliberately does not display colors and pictures in HTML mail]
