in thread Move/Copy files using Clipboard!

Yes, it is tested--under XP, in conjuntion with 5.8.4 and 5.8.5.

Do you compile your own modules?

Do you know how to apply a patch to a module distribution?

    No, not, really, but please tell me! Would be kewl doing! It seems like a rather small and not too complex thing to do (since its just a small part of the big Win32 module). Assuming I can compile this part by itself! (and I'm not too much of a stranger to makefile in linux :) )

    Update: Looking into and testing the perlxs and perlxstut now :)

      You don't need to do that. The changes are already done and are made to your copy of the package by running a program.

      The first thing you need to do is to download and compile the base module (Win32::Clipboard 0.52) yourself.

      To do that, you will need a C compiler, preferably the same one used to build your version of Perl. If you are using an ActiveState build of Perl, that means the MS C compiler.

      If you already have that installed, then the best place to learn about building modules is tachyon's excellent A Guide to Installing Modules.

      When you've succeded in building 0.52, /msg me and I explain how to apply the patch.

        Uh, ok... M$ Studio is installed. Now what? :) Those guides doesn't really help me (or I can't find the info about it)!

        UPDATE: Crap. Same problem as http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?mode=hybrid&t=1031906 :(
