Howdy. A google search "activestate versus cygwin" didn't do me much
good, so I'm asking the fine folks at comp.lang.perl.misc: any clear
reason to use one over the other? My objective, really, is as seamless as
possible an experience as I work my way through the llama book for the
first time. Many thanks! (My feelings won't be hurt by backchannel
responses if you feel it's not sufficiently on topic.)
