Strawberry Perl is distributed with its own winlibs distribution. E.g., if the perl distribution is placed in c:/strawberry, the winlibs distribution is placed in c:/strawberry/c. May I replace this winlibs distribution with a different, newer winlibs distribution placed in c:/winlibs (for example)? Would changes other than the path be necessary? Thank you!
I tried the following: d:\prog\strawberry with strawberry perl 5.38.2.2 but with the c folder removed; d:\prog\mingw64 with winlibs 13.2.0 release 6. I worked the path accordingly. I get errors when trying to install packages. These errors were not there with the original setup.
Strawberry Perl is a bear of a project: it brings together many components, compiles them together, links all the objects, and gives you a tidy package. If you wanted to replace part of that, all the other parts must be redone too. And, all of that has to done with the same compiler the original package used.
You could compile your own Strawberry Perl, but why? Are you running into some problem that you think a different winlibs would solve?
Have you considered raising an issue with Strawberry Perl for the problem you think you have?
