特性
Perl 5.32 Beta
- Rather than downloading a pre-built distribution of modules, you’ll get:
- A unified, cloud-based toolchain that delivers automated, parallel builds from source for both Linux and Microsoft Windows.
- Virtual environment support that automatically creates isolated working directories (similar to Python’s virtualenv).
- Pure Open Source licensing, rather than an ActiveState licensed ActivePerl distribution. Modules you install just have their original licensing.
- Perl 5.32 also features PPM-like functionality, restorable environments, and more.
Perl 5.32 Build Logs
- You can now browse through the build logs for the dependency that failed and identify information that may help you resolve the issue.
- You can also submit the log to ActiveState's forums to help you solve the issue.
- You can also view the log files associated with successful builds, which can help you understand how dependencies are built.
- Once you’ve created a Perl project via command line, you can login to your Platform account to access the build logs.
Perl 5.32 Virtual Environments
- ActiveState Platform’s State Tool CLI delivers virtual Perl environments, automatically creating isolated directories for you to ensure against dependency conflicts. The State Tool also provides some key advantages:
- Cross-platform support (Windows and Linux) allowing diverse teams to standardize on ActiveState Perl.
- Multi-language support (Perl and Python) simplifying multi-language application creation.
- Ability to fork, merge and restore your Perl environment (including transient dependencies) at any point in time, even years later.
