Actually, Strawberry Perl is preferable over AS Perl: http://strawberryperl.com/
From memory, AS makes (commercial) Perl tools for creating stand-alone Windows executables and single-file Windows Installer packages. I also recall a Perl .NET toolchain. Does Strawberry Perl have any of these capabilities? Must Strawberry Perl be installed first on end-users' machines?
It's my understanding that Strawberry Perl provides a C compiler and a working CPAN environment. This is well and good for pure Perl applications, but I also write Perl software that drives GNU command-line tools (ssh, tar, gzip, rsync, etc.) and/or is driven by other GNU tools and/or Apache. I have found Win32 binaries for some of the pieces, but only Cygwin seems to have everything I need. How does a Strawberry Perl developer deal with these cases?
