dev release 5.38 32-bit cut-down

Pre-release

This is a development release of Perl 5.38.1 for 32-bit environments.

Key differences from the 64-bit releases are:

  1. The files under the c directory are the same as the 32-bit SP 5.32.1 release. This means, for example, that gcc is version 8.3.0.
  2. Not all of the CPAN libs have been installed. (The final version might have even fewer).

Note also that the Perl 5.38.1 release is pending some final changes, and might be replaced by a 5.38.2 release.

Pre-release

This is a test release of Strawberry Perl 5.38.0.2.

This release is to test if a local build avoids the locale issues reported for 5.38.0.1, for example #119

The main change from 5.38.0.1 is that it is built on a local machine instead of a docker instance.

Strawberry Perl 5.38.0 and 5.36.1 MSI, portable and PDL editions.

These are compiled using gcc-13.1 (winlibs release 5). Both use the same set of "external" libs.

For a list of known test failures and build issues see https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aperl5.36 and https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aperl5.38

If you find an issue with a module then please report it to that module's issue tracker.
If the issue is with the Strawberry Perl build then please report using the Perl-Dist-Strawberry issue tracker.

Main changes since the 5.32 release:

  • t1lib is not included. It causes segmentation faults with Imager and has also been removed from several other distributions about a decade ago. See Issue #108
  • DBD::Oracle is not currently distributed. Details are in #69
  • Several additional modules are included, for example PAR::Packer and Devel::NYTProf

(Edited title to fix version number)

Update 2023-06-20: The zip archive uses full path names for its contents (see #107). The next version will fix this but in the interim you can use tools like 7-zip to extract the relevant subdirectories if you don't want the files in C:\strawberry.
