older versions (such as 5.8.6) still need the Microsoft VC++ compiler

You can use MinGW with older versions of ActivePerl if you install Extutils::FakeConfig and then:

This is covered in a little more detail in Compiling C/C++ based Modules under ActiveState using MinGW. I've been using this method with ActivePerl build 806 (perl-5.8.0) with good mileage.

    Thanks a lot.
