Re^3: Compiling modules for win32 ActivePerl

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

That isn't how it works. One tarball for dmake, another one for mingw, the mingw tarball has dlltool http://ppm4.activestate.com/author/MINGW.html MinGW-5.1.4.1.ppmx MinGW-5.1.4.1.ppd MinGW-5.1.4.1.tar.gz	[reply]
