![]() This can get into a) a technical aspect of whether or not I can generate said. There are AS license requirements as well as each module's What you can and cannot do with different licenses of "freeware" is complicated. So I can't just burn my C:\Perl directory onto a DVD and ship that. They want to force you to install from their website, not an image that might be 5 years old. If you install AS Perl on a client machine, Re-distribution of old software versions. ![]() A main thing that AS wants to prohibit is What you can or cannot do with software can get into a very complicated legal mess. My current "profile" on this Win XP laptop is shown below. They are now saying to buy a BS license for Professional support, where I sure they said a BS license is required for production code (but now it's gone). that content is sightly different from what I can remember before. Is that possibly means it's really free now? XD Though, I can locate Tk-TableMatrix in 2 different versions of AS Repositories ( 5.20 and 5.16 ) Oh this is a nice one! I knew about this but never tried then forgot, thanks bring it up again =) Hope that helps! Feel free to ping me if you ever have questions.Ĭan you link to something official documenting this on the ActiveState site, perhaps a maintained support matrix showing what to expect would be useful for users? PPM is available for all versions with BE. Currently, those versions are 5.24.1 and 5.22.3 so I would venture to say that for an older version like 5.16 you won't be able to access PPM modules for install without a BE (Business Edition) license. We support PPM access for versions of ActivePerl that we are currently shipping CE (Community Edition) for, with a bit of a buffer when new versions come out (so there will be a period where older CE versions will retain access to PPM). ![]() Hi folks - my name is Pete, I work at ActiveState and just wanted to quickly note that the above answer is roughly correct. You may not even have an issue like that at all. I think I had to find and manually install Tk-TableMatrix because it wasn't in the main AS repository. Its been a long time since I have done this. That should install all the packages that you had before on the 5.16 version. After you have latest Perl version running, use its ppm command line to ">ppm profile restore Myprofile". On your 5.16 machine I think you can ">ppm profile save Myprofile". Important: You can save and restore a profile file. I think you would have to completely uninstall 5.16 and then install a fresh copy of the latest supported AS Perl version. I do not think that a update from 5.16 directly to the latest version will work. I am not sure from your post whether or not you were able to use the ppm on the 5.16 version or not? I think they want you to buy a business license (which is very expensive) to access older Perl versions. The last time I checked, Active State free Perl versions are only for current version and Thinkpad T430 with Ubuntu 16.04.2 running perl 5.24.1 thanks to plenv!! So if there's a way you can move later to strawberry perl, that will be really great. Just pointed the scripts to the new version while leaving the old version of Perl intact. Moving from v 5.18 to 5.24 was much easier. ![]() You can install multiple versions of them. Best part is the portable Perl installation that strawberry provides. I had used both activestate and strawberry perl and found that the latter was much easier to use. Then either create a config module to store this and switch to Strawberry or pay ActiveState for their services.īy pritesh_ugrankar (Monk) on at 10:13 UTC Some notes below your chosen depth have not been shown here Re^5: Is ActivePerl repositories go free again? Re^4: Is ActivePerl repositories go free again? Place your anywhere in perls lib path as sitecustomize.pm and set the environment variable PERL5OPT to -Msitecustomize - that should do the trick with strawberry. Re^3: Is ActivePerl repositories go free again? but in short, before Strawberry Perl can load again. Re^2: Is ActivePerl repositories go free again? You could just switch to Strawberry Perl, which has a more complete development environment by default, more non core modules, a proper build environment and so on. ActiveState Perl also ships with cpan for installing modules, though you would likely need to install the MinGW package manually. You should actually ask them to get an official answer.
