ActiveState Perl is built using a compiler that uses the run-time library that's used by the Windows internal stuff and many supplied apps, so that's easier

Both ActiveState Perl and Strawberry Perl use the same C runtime. Wrt to cfreeman's specific issues, neither has any advantage over the other.

cfreeman have you considered using the MinGW compiler (that ships with Strawberry Perl, and is also freely available elsewhere) to build the dll's - instead of using the incompatible VC9 ? That would be the best solution, imo - there would then be no problem using those dll's with either ActivePerl or Strawberry Perl.

Cheers,
Rob
