Strawberry perl5/5/2023 ![]() ![]() To install Active Perl: go to this link: and download the installation file, installation steps are self explanatory. However if you are more concerned about which one you should choose, you can refer this discussion: One is using ActivePerl another is StrawberryPerl, you can choose either one of them. There are two methods (more specifically two distributions) to install Perl on Windows. The steps are as follows: Installing Perl on Windows ![]() However if you don’t get this message, you can install the perl for free.

In case of problems just restore the backup. Than simply try out your upgrade scenarios and test again. So I'd say make a backup, test it's reliability and zip it. My experience with Perl installation trees on Win is that they are easy to copy and even transfer to other machines. I don't think you have to worry much about this. You can also register your existing Perl installation with berrybrew if you desire: berrybrew virtual some_name, then follow the prompts to enter path information. Switch to the new instance: berrybrew switch 5.32.1 (or via the UI).During the install, you can select a version of perl to install with it If you use berrybrew, you need not do anything at all with your existing install. I regard this unifying of the CPAN directories as one of the "smartest things I ever did".Īnd, as with most of the other "smartest things I ever did", I'm not exactly sure just how I did it -) Out of curiosity, I ran cpan -a in quick succession from 2 different perls. Note that on 64-bit Windows, it doesn't matter whether the make utility (of whatever flavour) is 32-bit or 64-bit. (You could just specify $make = $Config if you're sure that the requisite flavour of make is going to be in your path.)Īdditionally, further down in M圜onfig.pm, the 'make' setting needs to be altered to 'make' => $make, I've therefore altered my \Users\me\.cpan\CPAN\M圜onfig.pm to begin with: cpan/CPAN/M圜onfig.pm likes to name the actual flavour of make - but that flavour could be any of gmake, dmake or nmake. The only snag I've ever encountered with this arrangement is that. Perhaps this is partly reliant on the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH environment variables which, for me, specify (respectively) C: and \Users\me. I'm not sure how this is achieved, but every time I install a new windows perl (whether it's from Strawberry or not), the cpan utility just automatically uses C:\Users\me\.cpan as its cpan directory. The one thing I do like is that they all use the same cpan directory - namely \Users\me\.cpan. I have many (lost count) perls of different versions and configurations on my Windows box - some were provided by the Strawberry Perl project, others not. "cpan -a" generates its module in: "C:\strawberry\cpan\Bundle\Snapshot_2022_04_29_00.pm". Re: Upgrading Strawberry Perl While Preserving Non-Core Modules ![]()
