in reply to Quest for the Holy Graal in the Evil Land

You don't need perl source to embed it into VisualC++ project, there are all necessary header files and a LIB in installation packages which, when linked to your project, will call Perl's DLL in a correct way.

But if you want to compile Perl from its cource code, then you need to download it, and I saw sources of many perl versions on ActiveState's web pages

    Hmmm. Could you precise a little more?

    I'd like to find this library (it would actually be better than having to recompile the whole distribution...)

    And as I told you, I did not see the distribution source for Perl 5.005 on ActiveState's page.

    As suggested above, I could try to get the CPAN instead, but I'm wondering if I won't run into any portability issues that I wouldn't have to worry about with something coming from ActiveState (ActiveState is compiled with Visual C++ - if you look on their page, you will see that they might even be bought my Microsoft in the future...).
