Hello,
I tried yesterday update to newest AP 5.18.2.1801 and have not succeed to get it working.
Firstly uninstalled completely previous perl. Then new install to the same directory, and perl is crashing on most of my existing scripts that were working with perl 5.16. I think the bug which was already present in AP 5.18.1 is still present (wrong linkage to perl516.dll). Anyway I didnot manage any of 5.18 perls fully functional and I did update this software many times. So I assume there's something wrong with all 5.18 builds.
Second question is about updating procedure. It's clear that every AP update requires removing previous version before installing. I find this atleast unfortunate since partly because the hassle self and partly because not transferrable PPM repository (it is destroyde on previous version uninstall). So I wanted to suggest: either make Activeperl updatable/or downgradable/ seamlessly, meant that only I need the installer whic will manage everything necessary in one pass. Or if this not manageable, at least provide an easy way for tranferring old 3rd party modules to new version (including they're registered in PPM repository and integrated PerlDoc pages)
