in thread How Can I Compile Perl Using Microsoft Visual Studio 6?

Could you be a little more specific? What directions? I don't see them in the Visual C++ 6 online help, and a search of Google on the terms Visual Studio Perl got me references to the effect that everyone else is doing it, but not me!

The story of my life, if someone remembers where the directions are I would really appreciate it.

    Download the Perl source code distribution and unpack it. You'll find a file called PORTING that describes how to compile Perl. In the case of Win32, you will fairly quickly be redirected to another file (README.Win32, I think) which should describe how to compile Perl using several different platforms including Visual Studio.
