script on startup

Version 2.0a
Version 2.0a is a very important update which
resolves a number problems and adds some important new features. We urge all Version
2.0 users to download this free update as soon as possible.
Details on what has changed are available in
the "Release Notes" topic on the online help. In brief the update contains the
following:
Greatly improved "ToolTip"
evaluation performance in the debugger.
New "as you type" prompting for
built-in Perl function parameters (similar to VB, Delphi, etc), as well as a pop-up list
of functions accessible by pressing CNTRL+L.
Improved stability, especially under Win
2000 and NT.
Improved CPU utilization by the debugger.
Fixes for a number of other problems
reported by users.
Linux Update
Version 2.0n (Pre-Release)
This update brings the Linux version of Perl
Builder 2.0 up to par with version 2.0b of Perl Builder for Windows. All the fixes and new
features described above for Windows versions 2.0a-b are included.
In addition, this update includes the latest
version of WINE. WINE has made a lot of progress in the past few months, and this version
is noticably more solid. For example, the toolbar flicker has been fixed.

Wine Updates (for Perl
Builder 2.0 - Linux)
Note: The Version 2.0n
update above already includes the latest version of Wine. You do not need to
download this as well.
You can obtain the latest RPM for WINE here. Simply download the
"stripped" build and install using your package manager.
You do not need to reinstall Perl
Builder. However, if the RPM indicates that it has overwritten /etc/wine/wine.conf
you will need to restore the old version of the wine.conf file. The RPM should back
this up for you, but it may be a good idea to make your own copy of this file.
If you fail to restore the wine.conf file,
Perl Builder will not run.
The RPMs on this site our updated daily, so
you may wish to download an update periodically. These files are provided by members of
the WINE open source development team and are not tested or guaranteed by Solutionsoft.
Any time you install a Wine update, please be
sure to retain the last working RPM, since there is always the potential that something in
the new version will break Perl Builder.
More information and support resources for the
WINE project and available at WineHQ.com
