Hi,

We have not any problem with ActivePerl 5.10.0.1004 too. We use it in MS Windows XP, 2003 and Vista with MS SQL Server 2005 and 2008. OTRS 2.3.3, OTRS 2.3.4 and OTRS 2.4.0 beta is used in our installation without any problem.

Jeff,

Yes, OTRS 2.x is 'compatible' with ActivePerl 5.10 as that is 'just' a binary distribution of Perl 5.10.

The only reason (as far as I know) that ActivePerl is no longer part of the Windows installer but replaced with StrawberryPerl is because of licensing issues. ActivePerl has a restrictive license and you can not include it into your product without an agreement with ActiveState, their distributors. You can, however, do a manual install with ActivePerl Perl and OTRS without running into licensing trouble. (but please note I'm not a lawyer)...

StrawberryPerl is a community built Perl and can be distributed under a less restrictive license.

Kind regards,
