And I have VC++v9, which is also "wrong", presumably--assuming some kind of logic--the compiler that comes with SDK2003--which is the "correct version"--must be VC++v8

By my understanding of the version numbering, you have version 9.0 (version number starts with 15.00) and I have version 8.0 (version number starts with 14.00). Mine has the same full version number as the compiler that built x64 ActivePerl (14.00.40310.41).

I have it in my head that my x64 compiler, despite being a version 8.0 compiler, actually uses the msvcrt.dll runtime. And I also have it in my head that ActiveState elected to use it (at least partly) for that reason - though I don't recall precisely how that line of reasoning ran.

I don't know how you located the v8/2003sdk downloads?

Someone (probably Jan Dubois) gave it to me ... I can never find anything for myself on the MS website :-)

Let us know how you go with the perl you build with your version 9.0 compiler. I've got my money on it being able to build Time::Piece without any test failures. I'd be interested to find out for sure.

Cheers,
Rob
