Advantages: • You don’t need the latest version of perl installed • You don’t have to install additional perl modules Disadvantages: • For some reason, starting mh with the compiled versions is slower. On my windows box, it is 10 seconds -vs- 20 seconds. • You can apply quick patches to mh, -vs- downloading a larger, less frequently updated mh.exe file. The memory and cpu used, once mh is started, is the same.
