Publisher's description
From ActiveState :The ActivePerl package is the most significant advance in Perl on 32-bit Windows platforms since version 5.0 was released. Remember the days of "Which port are you using?" and "Does this module support this port?" Well, those days are gone with 8088: this is the long-awaited "merge" of the two popular Perl ports, and it has the best of both, plus more: a merge of ActiveState Perl Object technology into core Perl; support for standard extension mechanisms like MakeMaker; easy installation and management of modules and extensions with Perl Package Manager; binaries for most CPAN modules, available from ActiveState's repository (including Tk and GD); updated FAQs; and complete, integrated online help in HTML.
The ActivePerl package contains all you'll need to get Perl up and running, even with a Web server. ActivePerl includes Perl for Windows; the binary of the core Perl distribution; Perl for ISAPI, an IIS plug-in that makes Perl CGI lightning-fast; PerlScript, an ActiveX scripting engine, like JavaScript or VBScript with a Perl brain; and the Perl Package Manager, a Perl extension installer and manager.
A complete list of what has changed since the 300-series builds of Perl for Windows can be found here.
