This sounds great. So I assume that installing both Perl 
5.6 and 5.8 will be ok as well? 


 



Many Thanks,


 



Allan

You 
can install PDK 4 and PDK 7 side-by-side on the same machine.  PDK 4 will 
install into your Perlbin directory, while PDK 7 will install into its own 
directory.  If you want to use PDK 7 with ActivePerl 5.6, and have PDK 4 
installed into it, then you must make sure you put the PDK 7 directory first in 
the PATH.



 


The 
changes between Perl 5.6 and 5.8 are documented in the various perl 58xdelta 
documentation files (perl58delta, perl581delta, perl582delta 
etc).


 


Cheers,


-Jan

Greetings! 



I am 
currently working with Perl 5.6 and PDK 4.1. I need to eventually move to the 
latest on both, but there will be a transition period. Is it possible to have 
Perl 5.6 and 5.8 and PDK 4.1 and PDK 7 on the same 
machine?


Anyone know 
of gotchas in moving from Perl 5.6 to 5.8? 


Thanks!

Yes, that is no problem.  I have machines with over 20 different

versions of ActivePerl installed.



 



Of course you now need to manage things like file associations,
IIS script settings and the PATH yourself, if you want to switch between
different Perl versions.
