The free Borland command line C++ compiler isn't able to be downloaded from their website any longer. This may be unintentional: following the download instructions takes you to (what used to be) a survey page which 404s. Several people have left irritated comments for Borland in their forums.

Googling turned up a number of copies loose on the web; one can be found at the bottom of http://www.zoology.ubc.ca/~rikblok/software/r2dtoo/help/api/index.html. Use at your own risk (legal and otherwise).

(What's the perl relevance? This is one of the supported compilers for building perl on Windows. Why would you use it instead of MinGW or Visual C? No idea; I'm doing so because I'm mucking about with the build process and want to see what I'm breaking.)

I'm looking for a job.
