Hi Anon, this looks exactly like what I'm looking for. But it's way over my pay-grade.

update

When it says "Setting STD_IOSTREAM to a true value helps, and all tests pass nicely.", what is STD_IOSTREAM? Is it an environment variable (I'm doing this on windows, so is it system or user)? And what does 'true' value mean? It could be "1" or does it mean a path to iostream.h which exists?

I tried setting the system environment variable STD_IOSTREAM to '1' and running with compiler g++, but the results are the same. So I feel I must have misunderstood the patch process.

OK, well I finally understood what the patch was saying. I edited the CPP.pm files and Makefile.PL manually (is there an automatic way of doing it?) the 'Makefile.PL' runs smoothly as does 'nmake'. But 'nmake test' gives:
