I have been using Activeperl for some time, but just became aware of the
fact that their ppm's deliver v0.72 of WWW::Mechanize, and the CPAN
version is 1.34 ! I have a gazillion modules from Activeperl. I've
been getting wierd results and would like to upgrade. Can I have
Strawberry and Activeperl on the same (Windows) machine?
