64-bit
Why is there no 64-bit PerlDevKit Pro?
I want all the features available in PerlDevKit Pro, but I can't find an installer for a native 64-bit version. All I see is PerlDevKit Deployment 64-bit. Where is 64-bit PDK Pro?
PerlDevKit is a collection of tools. The contents of the collection varies by platform because some tools are restricted to certain operating systems.
All 64-bit platforms are restricted by a lack of UI support. The tools that are found only in PDK Pro collection are UI-based, so we don't try to sell you licenses for something that we can't provide.
All the 32-bit tools will run on 64-bit machines, so if you want the GUI functionality, you can install the 32-bit PDK Pro and a 32-bit ActivePerl to get the required GUI support. The extra advantage and purpose of having the 64-bit PDK Deployment tools is to provide the few tools for which you might need native 64-bit apps (primarily PerlApp to wrap and deploy a 64-bit Perl application).
