The following table compares Anaconda vs ActivePython vs Python:. For non-commercial purposes, Anaconda is still free. Experienced Pythonistas will likely prefer to use Python.
For the time being, dependency resolution will still need to be managed manually. New to Python? It includes wxPerl , the Perl wrapper of wxWidgets on all 3 platforms. Upgrading of these Perl distributions for Windows usually involves removing the old ones and installing a new one. Then installing all the additional modules. Linux Every modern Linux distribution comes with perl already installed. In some cases it is not the full package that was released by the Perl 5 Porters, and in most cases it is not the most recent version either.
Being a bit out of date would not be a problem, but in some cases you will be stuck with a years old version of Perl. You will encounter such cases especially in Linux distributions with long support policy.
For example the Long Term Support of Ubuntu. Of course, every software in those distributions is very old, not only Perl. Stability has a price! One of the drawbacks of having an old version of Perl is that there might be CPAN modules that don't support that version of Perl any more. To get started with Perl it will be OK to use the one that came with the operating system, but at one point you might want to install the newest version of Perl.
We will go deeper in this issue in another article, but for now it is enough to say that this became very easy recently with the development of Perlbrew. In some Linux distributions not all "standard" Perl is included by default. For example many distributions leave out the documentation. The idea and concept behind the development of this text editor were to modify and clone the pico text editor with extra functionality.
SciTE has been worked on from just being used to demonstrate Scintilla to be a very important text editor, equipped with facilities to effectively develop and run programs. Geany is an important lightweight text editor.
Its many features enable you to perform lots of tasks. Each of their respective features is stated for easy understanding. We truly hope you already got one of them in mind for your next Perl project. Press ESC to close. Olanrewaju Olakunle March 9, 0. Development Tools. Many systems come with a native package manager and a list of packages that you can install.
These typically handle dependencies for you, and usually anything that you install through the package manager works with anything else you install through the package manager. For this convenience, you lose the ability to minutely control how you compile the source and where you install it. You also lose some convenience in your post-installation experience, too. If you want to stick with your packaging system even with CPAN modules, you have to wait for someone to create a package for the distributions that you want to use.
Some packaging systems have good tools to easily convert most Perl modules, and you can even create your own packages. Some of the packaging systems make changes to the Perl distributions including adding bugs that might cause you some headaches, and some might not include the complete Perl distribution. Strawberry comes with a compiler and the other tools that you need to get around this.
These include some of the more untamed distributions that have tricky compilations, such as XML::Parser , DBD::mysql and many of the Win32 modules with some restrictions in the bit version. Strawberry is mostly the work of a very small group of people, although it has a dedicated and mostly content customer base. Response times to questions and problems might not be immediate, but you can often get by with the free support if immediacy is not a problem for you.
