This problem caused the rmtree() function of the File::Path module introduced in build 815 to fail for such directory names on Windows. The stat() builtin would not return the expected result when passed a directory name with trailing slashes on Windows.Problem where ‘perl -s’ wasn’t able to parse -foo=bar switches has been corrected.

This mode is more likely to work with modern firewall setups.

This avoids the need to go through the configuration dialog the first the CPAN shell is invoked. ActivePerl now ships with a preinitialized CPAN::Config module.This happens automatically if the vendor compiler is not available on the target system. ActivePerl::Config on Solaris and HP-UX now provides compatibility so that extensions can be built using gcc.Previous releases were built with the GNU compiler (gcc). ActivePerl for Solaris is now built with the vendor compiler.
