Overview

ActivePerl 5.12.4 Build 1205 is a software program developed by ActiveState Software. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named perl.exe. The setup package generally installs about 60 files and is usually about 85.06 KB (87,097 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 7. While about 45% of users of ActivePerl Build 1205 come from the United States, it is also popular in Thailand and France.
