in reply to Compiling perl on windows with visual studio

Under MS Windows, I would expect to see perl520.dll not perl520.lib

Linking your C application with perl520.dll (or perl.dll) should work as long as your C source is compiled with the same (or equivalent) options as your installation of Perl.

    .dll is compiled code. It needs some linker information, which is stored in .lib, so VS links code to .lib.
