Hi mpapet,

For some reason Dave Roth likes to present his source as some sort of Visual Studio Project - it's all far too arcane for my simplistic mind to comprehend. If you can isolate the actual source files from the sludge that also comprises his source distros, and write an appropriate Makefile.PL, then it might well be trivial to build with dmake and MinGW. I've never been able to stomach the task (of unravelling his "source") for long enough to actually get anywhere with it.

You can use the ppm packages (for perl 5.8) available from Roth's repository with Strawberry Perl. The info on that page is a little outdated but, I believe, the ppm's for perl 5.8 do exist there. If you decide to go down that path then you'll want to install PPM, as Strawberry Perl doesn't come with an inbuilt PPM utility. The only tricky bit to installing PPM on Strawberry Perl is in installing the pre-requisite XML::Parser. See here for some advice on how to do that.

Cheers,
Rob
