Strawberry Perl updates.
Aug. 24th, 2010 05:48 pmThere is some stress going on in my personal life, but Strawberry Perl is rolling forward.
Two major things are happening:
1) Making the perl-building process itself pluggable. This is 99% done, and development versions with this code, and the plugins required to use them, will be released over the next few days.
2) Allowing the user to choose how much of an "on top of Strawberry" distribution is to be installed.
I'll be gone over the weekend, (Friday to Sunday) but should be back online and working Monday or Tuesday. If 5.12.2 is out by then, I'll release a beta version of it then.
I've also checking why a "Strawberry-process" 5.13.4 won't work ( http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.h tml?id=77416 ), and checking how well a branch of ExtUtils::ParseXS will work for Strawberry (answer: we're working on it.)
