Question:
What is the best version of ActivePerl to use with Windows 7?
Answer:
The best version of ActivePerl to use on Windows 7 is always the most recent build of ActivePerl.
ActivePerl passes the same suite of tests on Windows 7 as they do on Windows XP or Vista and other supported versions of Windows.
ActivePerl's known issues on Windows Vista include:
- PerlIS and PerlEx are installed but not automatically configured due to differences in the script extension mapping process for IIS
- the OLE browser will not function with Internet Explorer 7

I found that some of the modules i wanted to use didn't work well in 64bit so even if you are using 64bit windows I would still recommend using Perl x86 (32bit) for maximum compatability.
Don't bother paying for IIS, Apache works very well and it's free ;)
