it is intriguing that you are not having the same problem with exetype.pl

Yes - 2 things come to mind. One is that we're possibly using different versions of nmake.exe (mine is "Version 7.00.8882"). The other is that we're probably specifying different values for "CCTYPE" in win32/Makefile. I've stuck with the default "MSVC60" - which seems to be working well enough, though seems a bit of an odd choice. (In that my compiler uses the msvcrt.dll runtime (afaik) it can also be argued that's a very sane choice.)

In any case, I've just reset CCTYPE to MSVC80, and perl still builds ok for me. What setting for CCTYPE have you been using ?

I still haven't got around to trying those amendments you posted ... and it's getting late again ... have to put that off until tomorrow.

Cheers,
Rob
