如何在Windows上同时使用ActiveState和Strawberry perl

Question

I have ActiveState installed already. Due to the ease in installing LibXML, I installed Strawberry. So at current, I have 2 perl programs, ActiveState and Strawberry. To use Strawberry, I need to remove ActiveState as it is the default of Perl. How could I keep both programs and set Strawberry as default in the classpath?

Answer 1

1. Right-click on "My Computer".
2. Click on "Properties".
3. Click on "Advanced system settings".
4. Click on "Environment Variables...".
5. Select "Path".
6. Click on the nearest "Edit".
7. Remove ActivePerl's bin directory from the "Variable value".
8. Add Strawberry Perl's bin directory to the "Variable value".
9. Click "OK".

You may need to reopen existing programs and consoles for them to see the change.

Or simply don't use the default and use the full path to perl.exe .
