On my dual-boot (linux debian & win xp) box under linux I have installed debian testing and the deb perl 5.6 packages boxed with the debian distribution.
Now, using perl both under linux and win xp I've installed activestate perl 5.8 under M$ win and it looks great! The same activestate site offer a debianized perl-5.8 package which is installed under usr/local/bin. In the opinion of more experienced users than I am is there any advantage for me to install activestate perl instead of the standard deb packages? Can both versions of perl coexist? If I install activestate perl, could I eliminate the boxed debian perl packages (to avoid duplication, of course) or they're essential for the installation?
