Re^6: length of pack 'J' and Win64/Win32 C data type model, pointer length, DWORD

Working what to change is impossible

Yes, that was my feeling too after both of my attempts to build such a Win32 perl.

I expected that the task should be much simpler now that the perl source has 64-bit config and config_H files in the win32 folder but, although they do the job for 64-bit builds, I was unable to coerce them into helping provide 64-bit integer support for 32-bit builds. (This could well be nothing more than ignorance on my part.)

Cheers,
Rob
