Re^11: Private temporal files on Windows

BTW, I am unable to make the latest version of ActivePerl (64bits) work together with the latest VisualStudio in order to build modules. Looking at perl -V it looks as if they were now compiling ActivePerl with MinGW. Is that right, or is just a trick by ActivePerl::Config?

Indeed, that seems to be the case; though your best bet for the full skinny about it is to talk to syphilis. He has been doing the MingW thing for a long time and understands a lot more of it than I do.

I've tried mixing msvc and the MingW built AS perl's a few times and somethings work; some don't; and I have no clear idea of what and why.

Installing Strawberry Perl now brings MingW with it; but as I showed above; that presents a whole different set of (so far) completely unexplainable anomalies.

Perl on Win32 continues to be a bit of a mess; things work more by luck than judgement a lot of the time :(
