What do I get with ActivePerl?
ActivePerl is a complete, self-installing distribution of Perl based on the standard Perl sources. It is distributed online at the ActiveState site. “Perl for Win32” generally refers to ActivePerl for Windows. Perl for Win32 was developed by ActiveState Corporation (originally Hip Communications) for Microsoft Corporation. This effort was undertaken for inclusion in Microsoft’s Windows NT Resource Kit. Since then, ActiveState and various Perl porters have worked to keep ActivePerl current with the standard release of Perl. The oneperl effort, a joint effort between ActiveState, O’Reilly, and various volunteers, has joined the Win32 and standard Perl source code into one common source tree.
