Strawberry perl v. 5.26 looks reasonable as packages for PGPLOT etc. are available through http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppmindex.html. For Tk::CodeText we will have to provide our own

http://strawberryperl.com/download/5.26.2.1/strawberry-perl-5.26.2.1-64bit.msi
ppm install PDL
ppm install PGPLOT
ppm install Tk

( cpan install Tk::CodeText - doesn't really work)

Should be in place with https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/commit/aab8233679d99dc5f368e42ba32a585de7c93f14

Please test on clean Win10 machine:

Install this strawberry Perl: http://strawberryperl.com/download/5.26.2.1/strawberry-perl-5.26.2.1-64bit.msi
Install this build: http://tmp.mcstas.org/McStas-Metapackage-2.5rc09-win64.exe

As https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/issues/689 now is closed, the chosen Perl can also be considered OK
