Publisher's description
From ActiveState :ActivePerl includes Perl core, Perl Package Manager, Installers, Complete online documentation, and Windows Version Extras (Perl for ISAPI, PerlEx, PerlScript, PerlEz).
Version 5.8.8.820 improved support for Unicode filenames on Windows. Many Perl internals will try to use the short 8.3 filename whenever the long filename cannot be represented in the system code page. This makes it now possible to work with these files from Perl. Support has been added to the glob() and readdir() functions, the Cwd.pm module, the $^X, and @INC variables and various other places. The Win32::GetLongPathName() will return the long name, as usual, but may now return a full Unicode name instead of using replacement characters. New features and bug fixes for PPM4. Problems in both the commandline and the GUI interface of the new Perl Package Manager have been fixed, and some new functionality has been added as well.
