I did this a few times because by now i've got friends that didn't belive it and wanted to see it first hand, but every time 5. I had no internet access from PPM or CPAN.
#Activeperl 32 bit install#
and did a fresh install once more, again with 5. Hoping it must be a bad installer or something, I downloaded the 5. Seemingly by magic it works right out of the box, no proxies or anything PPM and CPAN access the internet just fine. on the 2008 server, and even deleted the perl folder, then installed 5.

(previous community edition) with the same setup and it worked just fine, so I wanted to confirm if it was something wrong with the 2008 install.
#Activeperl 32 bit windows#
I also have a windows 2003 server which was using 5. I went ahead and tried to use a proxy, that had no effect and still didn't work. PPM can't find anything, CPAN can't find anything, there's no proxy configured or need for there to be any, its a direct connection to the internet. (latest community edition) and I go to do some updates but nothing can access the internet with it. Not sure how this makes any sense but I've got a brand new windows 2008 server and I installed 5. As the customer has mandated that the website has to run on windows :-( While I understand that perl was designed for Linux etc (multi forking), can anyone point me in the right direction in why perl scripts are so slow in windows. Both virtual machines run off the same tier of shared storage. The CentOS box only has 2gig of and 2 VCPU's compared to the windows 4 VCPU,6gig of ram. I have attempted to throw extra cpu + memory resources at the windows box, but this does not improve performance at all. When I am logging into the web app on the windows box, it launches a number of perl.exe processes which use up ALL (%100) available CPU (this is where I beleive the bottleneck to be). The windows instance takes at least 12 seconds. The issue that I'm having is that the performance of the website on the windows machines (active state perl V5.16 (圆4),Apache 2.2 ,Mysql 5.6 ) is absolutely woeful compared to its CentOS/Linux counterpart (Centos, Perl V5.10.1 (圆4) - multi-fork, Apache 2.2.15, Mysql 14.4).Īs a benchmark I can authenticate into my bespoke website using the centos installation in 3 seconds. This website was previously hosted on centos (which I am comparing it to).

As a sys admin of both windows and linux machines I am currently deploying a website using Apache/Perl/Mysql on windows.
