CL is the microsoft compiler frontend. It's available in the (free) MS visual C toolkit. update: see also A Practical Guide to Compiling C based Modules under ActiveState using Microsoft C++ "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

There is a patch at http://www.hybridized.org/catalyst/Session-FastMmap-win32.patch (by Andy Grundman) which uses Cache::FileCache instead of Cache::FastMmap. -- Frank	[reply]

If none of the above works out for you, I've got VC6++ at home that I use to compile most of my perl stuff on windows. I'm not a c person, but I'll take a crack at compiling Cache::FastMmap and stuff it into a ppm for you if it works.	[reply]

Thanks for the answers, everyone -- I'm feeling a lot better. Look forward to trying these things when I get off the day job. j2kaddict, if I am still having problems then I will let you know. Long live the monastery!	[reply]

Sometimes the best way to fix a problem is to avoid it altogether. Indeed, Cache::FastMmap is not to be found on Windows Perl's, so don't use that. I found this on the Catalyst maillist archives. Switch out the use of one Cache::Cache module for another that works on Windows, in this case Cache::FileCache. Here is the change to Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::FastMmap in patch form: --- FastMmap.pm-0.12 2005-05-25 17:33:18.000000000 -0500 +++ FastMmap.pm 2005-07-21 20:15:07.527036800 -0500 @@ -3,7 +3,8 @@ use strict; use base qw/Class::Data::Inheritable Class::Accessor::Fast/; use NEXT; -use Cache::FastMmap; +#use Cache::FastMmap; +use Cache::FileCache; use Digest::MD5; use URI; use URI::Find; @@ -124,9 +125,12 @@ $self->config->{session}->{rewrite} \|\|= 0; $self->_session( - Cache::FastMmap->new( + # Cache::FastMmap->new( + Cache::FileCache->new( + { share_file => $self->config->{session}->{storage}, expire_time => $self->config->{session}->{expires} + } ) ); [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You know, I have been trying to figure out how to search that list all day. Perhaps I should have posted to catalyst rather than perlmonks, but I found the "mailman" list interface forbidding. I see now that, though there is no search interface that I can discern, it seems to be crawled pretty well by google, so http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=site%3Alists.rawmode.org+catalyst+fastmmap+windows&btnG=Suche&meta= for instance could have gotten me closer to the info I needed. I am just so used to the ease of google groups / perlmonks... spoiled I guess. Oh well.	[reply]

The Catalyst list has a searchable archive at GMANE. You can also read the #catalyst IRC scrollback at loglibrary. The IRC chatter has been even more helpful to me than the mailing list.	[reply]
