I use CCTYPE = MSVC90FREE

That would be version 15.something-or-other. I can actually use that, too - it doesn't seem to make much difference.

I don't get any -Wp64 deprecation warnings, so I've left that flag in. I guess it must still be relevant to my compiler. Ideally, the Makefile would be tweaked so that the flag is omitted for compilers such as yours.

Your suggested change of $(MINIPERL) to $(PERLEXE) does, of course, work fine for me. Maybe submit a perlbug report about this, along with your suggested fix.

Still no closer to understanding why your compiler builds a troublesome miniperl.

Cheers,
Rob
