i've just started work on a Makefile.PL script that will hopefully provide an easy method of installation of a tool across platforms. I'm finding though, that in order for 'make install' to run properly, win32 boxes need a compiler of some sort, like cygwin, or I am sure one of others available. Is there an easy method to test for such a compiler on Win32 via the makefile? I'd like to try and find a more thorough method of discovering the environment rather than just spitting out something stating "Win32 machines will require a compiler if you plan on installing this to a directory other than the local one."
thanks -c

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
