Millions of developers trust Perl for computational and integration taskssystem administration, scripting, running database applications, and more.

As an open source programming language, Perl immediately reduces up-front project costs. However, Perl

alone may not help you meet your business goals.

Like most open source projects, Perl isnt quality assured or commercially supported. So, it may not be safe

for business or mission-critical applications that must run effectively daily, weekly, even hourly. Dont let

Perl be a point of failure for your internal systems and cost your business in lost revenue. Or worse, dont

let it compromise relationships with your customers. CA, Siemens and Boeing are just a few Fortune 1000

companies that trust ActiveState for end-to-end development, management and distribution solutions for

fail-safe Perl.

Worlds 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 youre 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, removing, upgrading, 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.

mission-critical applications that, when down, could cost your business in lost revenue and a damaged

reputation. Deploy Perl with confidence knowing youre using the most secure, enterprise-grade builds for

experts to ensure core applications are efficient, powerful and reliable. Plus, guaranteed Intellectual Property

(IP) indemnification lets you focus on keeping mission-critical applications up and running and your

business flourishing.

ActivePerl Business Edition is an affordable solution for small and mid-sized organizations that need fail-

safe Perl for business applications, but dont require advanced features like indemnification or enterprise-

grade support. Business Edition customers trust ActiveStates guaranteed technical support and regular fixes

and updates to ensure theyre using the most secure, high-performance Perl in their applications.

With both solutions, you benefit from access to Windows, Mac OS X and Linux plus Solaris, HP-UX and AIX
