I am a DJGPP Tools user since several years now.

I plan to begin to use the perl language but before, I would appreciate to
have some advice on which distribution to use : the DJGPP or the ACTIVESTATE
one ?

As far as I know, the present release level is 5.005_02 for DJGPP and a bit
higher for ACTIVESTATE.

At identical release level, what are the differences between these two
distributions ?

What about add-ons (perlscript, etc) and are they usable on both
distributions ?

Thanks for your opinions
