 =head2 How can I get a binary version of perl?
 
-For Windows, ActiveState provides a pre-built Perl for free:

+ActiveState: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX and HP-UX
 
-Sunfreeware.com provides binaries for many utilities, including
-Perl, for Solaris on both Intel and SPARC hardware:

-If you don't have a C compiler because your vendor for whatever
-reasons did not include one with your system, the best thing to do is
-grab a binary version of gcc from the net and use that to compile perl
-with.  CPAN only has binaries for systems that are terribly hard to
-get free compilers for, not for Unix systems.

-Some URLs that might help you are:
-
-	http://www.cpan.org/ports/
-	http://www.perl.com/pub/language/info/software.html

-Someone looking for a perl for Win16 might look to Laszlo Molnar's
-djgpp port in http://www.cpan.org/ports/#msdos , which comes with
-clear installation instructions.
+Strawberry Perl: Windows, Perl 5.8.8 and 5.10.0
