What free people rarely think about: Windows has a severe path problem. It is not the only problem of Windows, but a very real, and very annoying one. Nobody in her right mind would try to make ":" part of a path, let alone ";" part of the $PATH!

So I think it is still better to use cygwin's perl, not ActiveState, or even Strawberry (which ice cream addict came up with _that_ one?).

At least, it is better, _if_ you have a choice.

Ciao, Dscho
