Which Perl?

[Allan Peda]

Try the following URL for a Cygwin build:

[InternetShortcut]
URL= http://www.qub.com/group/

and the "canonical release at:
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ports/win32/Standard/x86

Also, word on the street is that 5.005 (ported by Gurusamy-pronounced
"urusamy" ) builds seamlessy on NT, although a friend of mine already
built 5.003 w/o a hitch on his NT 4 (srvcpk 3) lotsa hotfixes - machine.

The binary also includes perl/tk (perl5.00402-bindist04-bc.zip), which
is great for cross platform click here type dialogs, although the same
friend of mine swears by calling win dialog boxes using a different type
of approach (he says it's fast and easy- I'm clueless).

Good luck
Allan

  A t the moment, there are two widely used perl Win32 
    ports - ActiveState (ex-ActiveWare) 
    and "standard", 
    or "official", Win32 perl , by Gurusamy Sarathy. Both of the 
    ports are developed with significant effort paid for rewriting UNIX system 
    calls with Windows native calls. Can't consider it to be laziness . 
  
  Cygwin project provides a free UNIX-like 
    kernel for Windows NT/95 . We provide YeP-perl (v 5.004_04 patched and 
    built for Win32) that will work on Win32.  
    Compare our distribution with any ActiveWare or Standard Win32 perl distributions.
    We plan to provide more perl extensions in the spirit
    of Laziness. 

   Install Cygwin tools. Take latest version of Coolview .
    Install YeP-Perl Build 1 
    we have built for you.

   YeP-Perl Build 0 is here.
  YeP-Perl Build 2 would be based on perl5.005 betas. If you want something 
  to appear in Build 2 - write us. Build 1 was produced as a feedback to 
  your letters - your feedback on Build 1 is realy welcome!
