It is designed to be *more* compatible with CPAN, if that's what
you're asking. I suppose that it's not any less compatible with
Windows than ActivePerl is.

And that's also the reason for making another flavor - ActivePerl
wasn't compatible enough with CPAN. (That's how i understand it, feel
free to correct me.)

And there are more than 2 flavors for Windows - there's also Cygwin, a
Unix-like working environment that runs on top of Windows (not a VM).
It includes bash, Perl, gcc and many more familiar tools from Unix. I
use it a lot, although it has its problems, too.
