in thread How to install Compress::Stream::Zstd in Strawberry Perl?

Yes, that's disappointing. Thanks for pointing it out.

I've been googling all day and not getting much help there.

There exists an active GitHub site with a zstd-v1.5.7-win64.zip downloadable file, as well as the source code.

I just can't figure out how to set that up so Strawberry Perl's CPAN can hook into it.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

    Yep - that should do the trick.
    Copy its dll/libzstd.dll.a into the ext/zstd/lib folder, and rename it to libzstd.a.
    Then copy the dll/libzstd.dll file into your strawberry/perl/bin folder.
    Then just do step "5." from my earlier post.
    Worked for me !!

    Cheers,
    Rob
