Well, a PPM is easy (see HowTo build and distribute a PPMed module for Win32 in Tutorials), but cross-compiling is not easy(i tried doing it, I failed miserabley, I've only heard people say they did it, but only on unices).

You probably know, but there is a SWISH module on cpan which interfaces to the swish-e.exe executable.

http://mingw.sourceforge.net/ might be of interest.

I'll see if I can build it on windows (if you can provide me with a more recent dev binary, that'd be great).

update: Theoretically (i've not tried it), it's easier (or possible -- should be) to cross-compile perl extensions (and more) using SWIG instead of XS.

update: I tried building the perl extension, I didn't have much luck, sorry. I suggest you add the SWISH distribution from CPAN to your bundle.

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.
