I just tried to upgrade from 5.8.0 to 5.16.1 (64bit) on one of my machines. Ran this:
ActivePerl-5.16.1.1601-MSWin32-x64-296175.msi
and it installed fine, but I can't find it.
I normally keep Perl in C:/Perl, but when I
go there it's still 5.8.0. I did a search for 'active' and '16.1' and 'Perl' and 'bin', but can't find it anywhere.
The answer is that it tries to install to C:/Perl64, but for some odd reason never creates that directory, or at least I can't see it or get to it by trying the address into file explorer, even though it says it installs fine.
This version of ActiveState also won't install over the older version. You have to delete the older version to get this to install.
End of December notes
I'll try an upgrade to 5.8.2 in a month or so.
I use Perl v5.8.0 on windows (ActiveState).
When I go into ppm and type 'search plack' I get 'no matches for plack'. When I go into ppm and type 'search CGI' I get 410 different modules.
I know ActiveState is way behind the times, but I wanted to point that out.
