in reply to Build Curses for Perl 5.8.0

That's cool zaxo.

All my attempts to build Curses.pm on win32 have failed (win2k).

I have contacted the author, but he's not win32 knowledgable, and says that the win32 support that had existed, he got in the form of a patch. He also thought there was a PPM at the ActiveState repository of Curses. I couldn't find one for win32.

So I call upon anyone who knows how to build Curses.pm on win32, to go ahead and please do so, or help me do it, on Perl 5.6.1 or 5.7 or 5.8 or any perl.

    Hi, I was wondering if you tried the perl that comes with CYGWIN as well as ActivePerl. If you haven't tried CYGWIN, it's worth a shot. Let me know if it works, because if I ever get a Windows box I'd like my programs to work on it :)
