Strawberry Perl is “Open Source Perl for Windows that is exactly the same
as Perl everywhere else”. Vanilla Perl “provides a Perl distribution that is as close to the Perl core as possible.” Strawberry Perl is built on Vanilla Perl.

Both distributions come with a C compiler so that perl modules from CPAN that use XS can be built.

What are the differences between Strawberry Perl and Vanilla Perl?

    Just read the explanation on the Vanilla Perl homepage

    Vanilla Perl Series

    The Vanilla Perl series provides a
    Perl distribution that is as close to
    the Perl core as possible. If
    necessary, it may include
    win32-specific fixes.

    Vanilla Perl is experimental and is
    not intended for production purposes.
    It is targeted to master-level Win32
    Perl developers and those who wish to
    experiment with building their own
    custom Win32 Perl distributions.
    Vanilla Perl releases are numbered
    only as sequential ‘builds’ and will
    not follow any alpha/beta/release
    plan. This means incremental builds
    may be less stable than previous
    builds as new release configurations
    are tested.

    And

    Strawberry Perl Series

    The purpose of the Strawberry Perl
    series is to provide a more practical
    Win32 Perl release for experienced
    Perl developers to experiment and test
    the installation of various CPAN
    modules under Win32 conditions, and to
    provide a useful platform for
    experienced Perl developers to start
    doing real work.

    In addition to the modules in Vanilla
    Perl, Strawberry will also include the
    entire dependency tree for
    Bundle::CPAN, as well as an additional
    set of upgraded versions of dual
    CPAN/core modules that have
    win32-specific fixes.
