Like most open source projects, Perl isn’t quality assured or commercially supported so the open source version of Perl may not be safe for business- or mission-critical applications.
Don’t let Perl fail your systems and cost your business in lost revenue. CA and Siemens are just a few Fortune 1000 companies that trust ActiveState’s ActivePerl for development, management and distribution solutions for worry-free Perl.
ActiveState offers these solutions for Perl development:
- ActivePerl
- Komodo IDE for Perl
ActivePerl: The World’s Best Perl Distribution
ActivePerl is the industry-standard, commercial-grade Perl distribution used by millions of developers around the world for easy Perl installation and quality-assured code. Whether you’re using Perl for mission-critical applications or open source projects, ActivePerl offers worry-free implementation and significant time savings over open source Perl for installing and managing common Perl modules. ActivePerl comes precompiled for out-of-the-box installation and includes core Perl, popular modules, the Perl Package Manager (PPM) and complete documentation.
Fail-Safe ActivePerl for Business and Mission-Critical Applications
With ActiveState’s commercial-grade ActivePerl, you don’t need to depend on overworked internal resources or public Perl communities to solve issues.
And, if you are looking for access to legacy Perl (i.e. Perl. 5.8, 5.12, 5.14, 5.16, 5.18, 5.20 etc), need to install on big iron (i.e. Perl on AIX, Solaris, or HP-UX), or want to install on production servers, you’ll want to look at our ActivePerl Enterprise and Business Edition solutions.
ActivePerl Enterprise Edition is designed for businesses with large Perl deployments in essential, mission-critical applications that, when down, could cost your business in lost revenue and a damaged reputation. Deploy Perl with confidence knowing you’re using the most secure, enterprise-grade builds for the platforms that power your business. You’ll get priority access to our Perl experts for technical support and best practices guidance. Plus, guaranteed Intellectual Property (IP) indemnification to reduce risk in today’s business environment.
ActivePerl Business Edition is an affordable solution for small and mid-sized teams that need fail-safe Perl for business applications, but don’t require advanced features like indemnification. Business Edition customers trust ActiveState’s guaranteed technical support and regular fixes and updates to ensure they’re using the most secure, high-performance Perl.
Turn-Key Perl Redistribution Rights
ActivePerl OEM Edition enables you to include ActivePerl in your distributed application to provide customers with a seamless experience. ActivePerl OEM Edition takes the complexity out of open source licensing by guaranteeing assurance and eliminating legal risk that goes along with distributing Perl in commercial applications. If you plan to redistribute ActivePerl within your code or applications, contact us for licensing options.
Whether you are looking to embed our languages in your software for ease of installation, or want to wrap our languages in ready-to-run executables for distribution, we have enterprise solutions for you. Contact us for options.
Community-Friendly Perl
ActivePerl Community Edition is a free, ready-to-install Perl distribution for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, designed for community developers or open source projects that are not business- or mission-critical. It can not be used on production machines, nor does it include access to builds for HP-UX, Solaris, or AIX (only available in Business and Enterprise Editions). Support for ActivePerl Community Edition is only offered through the community and forums.
Deploying to the Cloud, VM or Container
ActivePerl is compatible with cloud, virtual machine and container environments. Being completely cross-platform, ActivePerl can be used in any virtualization, container, or cloud environment based on Linux, Unix, Windows or Mac OSX.
