in thread Activestate Perl 5.20, Change make/compiler

Looks outdated to me ..defaults..

The info on the defaults is probably outdated, but I doubt the ability to override config using env vars is gone

update: its still there in ActivePerl-5.20.2.2001-MSWin32-x86-64int-298913

    Oh yes - that's still there. I just don't know how easy it is to get things set correctly for the switch from 'gcc' to 'cl'. (The switch in the reverse direction used to be trivial - happened automatically.)

    IMO, the jury is out until someone comes along and actually does what the OP wants to do, by overriding the ActivePerl-5.20 defaults.
    *Then* we get to find out how trivial (or otherwise) it is.
