Normally you should just use a perl distribution, namely ActivePerl or Strawberry Perl.	[reply]

Not to forget Camelbox which worked with surprisingly few issues (none) on my XP system. I have installed Catalyst, Moose and other heavy modules (and their XS dependencies) without fuss¹. ¹ no fuss = not needing to rely on prebuilt binaries holli, /regexed monk/	[reply]

See the README.win32 file for Windows-specific instructions for building perl. But you probably want to just get a pre-built perl and install it, as already suggested. -- Online Fortune Cookie Search	[reply]
