Activestate and Microsoft to Enhance Perl Support

ActiveState and Microsoft have just done up a 3-year contract for Perl Open Source development and support for Windows.

ActiveState will add features such as full Unicode support for Windows. In addition, what ActiveState refers to as a “significant amount of the development effort” will be released as open source code.

Betas of the next release are scheduled for August 1999.

  • The form doesn’t support Markdown.
  • This form allows limited HTML.
  • Allowed HTML elements are <a href>, <blockquote>, <code>, <del>, <em>, <ins>, <q>, <strong>, and maybe some others. WordPress is fickle and randomly blocks or allows some.
  • If you want to include HTML examples in your comment, then HTML encode them. E.g. <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> (you can copy and paste that chunk).
