With our experimental Perl 5.32 release we're reimagining how you work with Perl from ActiveState. Rather than receive a monolithic distribution, you'll get:
A unified, cloud-based toolchain that delivers automated, parallel builds from source for both Linux and Windows
Virtual environment support that automatically creates isolated working directories (similar to Python's virtualenv)
And if you've missed PPM, it's back but in a whole new way. Learn more and try out ActiveState's Perl 5.32. Questions? Comments? Join the discussion about Perl 5.32 on our Community Forums.
ActiveState Platform's CLI, the State Tool, provides the same support for virtual Perl environments as plenv, perlbrew and others, but adds some key differentiators:
Cross-platform support for Windows and Linux
Multi-language support, including Perl and Python
Revision control allowing you to revert, fork and merge environment changes
