OK, I found back what other module I was having similar problems to: CDB_File. In that case, the errors for PXPerl and for ActivePerl were identical. That's why I have confidence in PXPerl, why I don't think it's that bad.

One symbol, "fsync" wasn't found, because it doesn't exist on Win32. It should be made equivalent to "_commit" using a macro. But the other symbol is an identical problem as I see here for 'Perl_seed':

D:/PXPerl/.cpan/build/CDB_File-0.94/CDB_File.xs:462: undefined referen +ce to `Perl_report_uninit'

This is the output I get from the latest version of ActivePerl, 5.8.8 build 817, downloaded this morning:
