But, using __inline should do the trick

In 1.69_2 they've simply dropped the "inline" - which is what I did. That still doesn't mean it's right, but.
Interestingly, according to comments in 'perl-libxml-mm.c', they've dropped the "inline" because AIX doesn't like it, not because Microsoft Compilers don't like it.

I found the "PlatformSDK for Windows Server 2003 R2" and installed it without any problem

To use that compiler you just need to set up the environment, which you do by running: 
C:\path\to\SetEnv.cmd /XP64 /RETAIL

[download]
(That's the equivalent of running vcvars32.bat with Visual Studio.) With that done, the Platform SDK compiler should be automatically found.

I think you'd better use the same compiler

Yeah ... that's the way it *should* be done, but with many extensions it's not necessary. Afaict, with XML::LibXML, it's only necessary if you're going to want to call new XML::LibXML::Reader(). Note that this problem of mixing runtimes is not a Windows bug, or a C runtime bug, or a compiler bug - it's a "user" bug. That is, it's a case of the "user" (me) doing something that he (I) oughtn't be doing. And there's only *one* way to fix this problem - namely avoid using more than one runtime (or, iow, "use the same compiler").

Cheers,
Rob
