Re: Makefile.pl for a C++ XS module... How to make windows happy?

I don't have a Linux box handy, but Config.pm tells me that $Config{cpp} would be "the" C++ compiler to use:

Q:\>perl -MConfig -e die$Config{cpp}
cl -nologo -E at -e line 1.
[download]

and on Solaris :

perl -MConfig -edie\$Config{cpp}
cpp at -e line 1.
[download]

(for the Sun delivered perl 5.005_03)

> Config.pm tells me that $Config{cpp} would be "the" C++ compiler to use: Wrong, most wrong. $Config{cpp} is the C preprocessor. There is no Config.pm variable for a C++ compiler. In most places you can just use $Config{cc}, though. The compilers are the same, really, or at least the frontend recognizes from the source code filenames (use .cpp for C++) which backend to use.
