What is Camelbox?

A complete build of Perl for 32-bit Windows that includes:

• A nice Windows installer that automatically downloads and installs the correct archive files
• All of the core Gtk2-Perl modules (Gtk2, Glib, Cairo), as well as their equivalent C libraries compiled for Windows.
• A working CPAN module
• Bonus (!) Perl modules, including DBI/DBD[SQLite|mysql|Pg|ODBC] and friends
• Extra binaries, utilities, development libraries/headers for compiling even more Perl modules from CPAN
• Lots of Perl/GTK documenation in HTML format
• Windows shortcuts for applications, demos, documentation, and links to doumentation/tutorials on the web

all neatly packaged and ready to install!

Support

If you have any questions about the project, please visit the Camelbox Google Groups page, and ask away! The Google Groups list can also be reached by sending an e-mail to camelbox@googlegroups.com.

You can also try to find people on the Freenode IRC network:

• Server: irc.freenode.net
• Channel: #camelbox

There's also a FreeNode Webchat client that you can try connecting with if you're not in the mood to find and/or install an IRC client on your machine.

Downloads and Installation

Visit the downloads section for a complete listing of all files, or click on the file listed in the Featured Downloads section on the right to grab the latest version of the installer.

Installing Camelbox should be easy (that's what we're here for), but if you want it broken down into a step-by-step process (with pretty screenshots), there's an InstallingCamelbox page just for you. Once you perform the install, visit the UsingCamelbox page to see what you can test drive. If you still have questions after installing and using Camelbox, there's now a FAQ page available as well.
