Which version of Perl do I have?

Question

I'm trying to find out which Perl version my Camelbox Perl is running, because I want the same version of Strawberry Perl. Strawberry Perl comes in 5.10.0.0 to 5.10.0.6. Which one do I have?

C:\camelbox\bin> perl -v | perl -ne "print if $.==2"
This is perl, v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

C:\camelbox\bin> perl -E "say $]"
5.010000

Edit:

C:\camelbox\bin>perl -V

That indicates you're running 5.10.0, but there's not enough information to determine what flavor of Perl you're running, if it's Strawberry or ActiveState or whatever. They should all run the same, but we'd need to see the full `perl -V` (note: capital V) to know. — Schwern, Apr 27 '11 at 08:44
Ok, that's the Camelbox Perl 5.10.0. You want the equivalent Strawberry? There's no exact equivalent, you should get the highest 5.10.0.X and then fill in missing modules. — Schwern, Apr 27 '11 at 08:57
@Schwern: I realised that I'm running Camelbox Perl 5.10.0, but figured that the fourth number in Strawberry Perl was a version of the Perl interpreter, so I'd like to find out which one Camelbox Perl 5.10.0 is using. — Tim, Apr 27 '11 at 09:01

There won't be a Camelbox which exactly matches Strawberry. 5.10.0.6 is the seventh (starts at 0) Strawberry release of 5.10.0. Strawberry 5.10.0.6 and Camelbox 5.10.0 should be the same, although they will have different bug fixes and ship with different modules. You'll have to compile Gtk2 for Strawberry, here's a discussion on that.

If possible you should upgrade to 5.10.1 at least. It contains a great number of bug fixes as well as incompatible changes to the smart match operator (~~). Unfortunately, I see Camelbox hasn't upgraded. :-/

I've been trying to get the Camelbox Gtk2 libs to work for Strawberry Perl. That discussion is barely a discussion and ends in "if you get a good solution ... publish it". Is the last number of the Strawberry release not a perl version number? – Tim Apr 27 '11 at 08:55

The last number is the release of Strawberry for that version of Perl. Perl uses just X.Y.Z. As far as getting Gtk2 to compile on Strawberry, I don't have anything more to offer on that. You might want to ask that as a separate question. – Schwern Apr 27 '11 at 09:04
