Compiled (binary) Perl and
its libraries for Windows systems and Linux can be downloaded and installed
from within this site.
Perl source files, many tested binaries for a variety of OS's,
and all library modules can also be downloaded
and installed from within this site
or one of many its mirrors worldwide.
NEPM requires standard Perl 5.6.1 or higher.
If your host system is running an earlier version of perl that cannot be upgraded
simply install NEPM's perl in a different location and run NEPM with it. Two perl installations
can co-exist on one system without interference.
