Using those binaries (for libxml2 and libiconv), I started with building the pre-requisite XML-LibXML-Common-0.13. I can build it ok, but 'nmake test' throws up a nasty little runtime showstopper: 
C:\_32\comp\XML-LibXML-Common-0.13>nmake test

I'm still trying to find/work out what needs to be done about that. There's an accompanying pop-up telling me that a runtime error (R6034) has occurred, and "an application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly". Googling suggests that it might be something to do with that fucking half-arsed "manifest" puke that the peabrains at Redmond dreamt up. (I don't have VC 8, though I do have the msvcr80.dll.)

In order to build, I unzipped those xml2 and iconv binaries into C:\_64\x64_lib, then, having already set up the environment for the SDK compiler, I ran: 
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\_64\x64_lib\include
set LIB=%LIB%;C:\_64\x64_lib\lib
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\_64\x64_lib\bin

Then I threw the Makefile.PL that ships with XML-LibXML-Common to the shithouse, and replaced it with: 
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

WriteMakefile(
    'NAME'        => 'XML::LibXML::Common',
    'VERSION_FROM'    => 'Common.pm', # finds $VERSION
    'AUTHOR'        => 'Christian Glahn <christian.glahn@uibk.ac.at>',
    'ABSTRACT'      => 'Routines and Constants common for XML::LibXML 
+and XML::GDOME',
    'LIBS' => '-lxml2',
);

Then ran 'perl Makefile.PL' and 'nmake test'. If we can get past that runtime error it should be fine - and we can proceed to building the other modules.

Cheers,
Rob
