You have to use the compiler perl was compiled with. ActivePerl is compiled using cl (perl -V:cc)

Either buy Microsoft Visual Studio, or download the perl sourcecode (ActivePerl from http://downloads.activestate.com/), and compile everything yourself from scratch using DJGPP (or Borland's free compiler, see outside links for a link), including Inline::C.

Do understand that if you do this, using PPM is gonna be pretty much useless, cause all PPM repositories use CL as the compiler (cause if you got a compiler like DJGPP, you don't need PPM).

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo! ** The Third rule of perl club is a statement of fact: pod is sexy.

Thanks PodMaster. That is my problem too then.

Another way to get at a MS C compiler is to look for the bundled Teaching Edition of MSVC 6 - it comes for about 20$ together with some (bad) books about C++, that's where I got my version of MSVC from. I needed it because I didn't want to spend time hunting compiled versions - now I spend time hunting down a gcc crosscompiler for Win32->Solaris, resp. the Solaris header files :-))
