in thread Compiling XS modules on Windoze

If you're already panicking and denigrating your OS of choice, why not have a look at Strawberry Perl? It includes a supposedly ActiveState compatible Perl and a fitting C compiler. All you need is some fiddling with Config-heavy.pl if you want to install it in a different path than c:\strawberry-perl as is the default.

    Whilst it is the OS of choice, it isn't my choice (*NIX) but that of the current client.
    Thanx for the tip WRT Strawberry perl ... downloading as I write :-)
