c-era has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm working on writing my first xs for Windows (directx for the curious). I was wondering what peoples’ experiences were with various compilers on Win32 for writing xs. I've only done a small amount of C coding. I have VC++, Borland C, and can get gcc under cygwin. Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.

    Note (for thoses who think this has nothing to do with perl): XS is how you can create a mod. for perl that uses a shared lib.
