Author Active perl - Which format to download

Hello

I am about to download the active perl software and I noticed that there are 2 formats. There is the AS package and the MSI package. What are the differences and which one is better? Also how does one install this program as I downloaded the AS package an
d did not see a setup program in the zip file.

Thanks,
Andrew

Use the MSI download ( allows for uninstall which AS does not ( or at leas=
t the last time I looked it did not). After the download, then double click=
and let it do it's thing. I just accept the defaults and within 5 minutes =
it is loaded and ready to go.
