When you see this type of error (missing perl symbol), the thing to try is this

First run cpanp -i Devel::PPPort

then from within BeginLift directory run  perl -MDevel::PPPort -e Devel::PPPort::WriteFile();

then run  perl ppport.h --patch=the.patch

then run  patch < the.patch

then run  make realclean then  perl Makefile.PL && make

When I tried this I got 

$ perl ppport.h --patch=the.patch

The warning had me curious, so the next thing I check is 

$ objdump -p C:\perl\5.14.1\bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\perl514.dll |

Hmm, doesn't look good, so I grep the source http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git?a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=pad_swipe and see 

embed.h

To me that means there is no way that is going to work (at least on win32) without compiling a new perl which explicitly exports pad_swipe -- or copy/pasting pad_swipe code into BeginLift.xs -- this has happened before with Devel/B:: modules :) the cost of being on win32

The http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Devel-BeginLift+0.001003 confirms this, there are no win32 PASS grades

Please report bug upstream to BeginLift author
