Perl-Dist-Strawberry (1.09)

Strawberry Perl is made of 80% win, 10% lovely fluffy kittens, and 10% tasty wholesome organ meat. It is truly a glorious thing. Yes, I know, I marked it down on documentation and interface - but then, it's *perl*. We all know that the documentation isn't perfect and the interface can be a bit weird. I also marked it down a little bit on ease of use, not just because it's perl, but because it's on Win32 which is always hard to use even with strawberries. But it still gets top marks overall, because it mitigates the Suck of Windows so much. It may still be a pain in the arse to use, but it least with Strawberry Perl, perl on Windows is usable.

Perl-Dist-Strawberry (0.1.2)

An excellent alternative to other win32 perl distributions!

No proprietary tools required!.

Cpan repository is about as reliable as the more proprietary perl distribution, so there is no reason to use proprietary tools with great GNU alternatives.
