Question:

What is the best version of ActivePerl to use with Windows Vista?

Answer:

The best version of ActivePerl to use on Windows Vista is always the most recent build of ActivePerl 5.8.8 or 5.10.0.

ActivePerl 5.8.8.819 and later versions pass the same suite of tests on Windows Vista as they do on Windows XP 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
