Hello Perl Experts. I have some generally useful Perl XS modules which I developed on the Mac OS platform. This work was originally used for my private consulting practice in the printing industry. Last March, my partner and I presented a technical paper about a technique we developed for calibrating printing devices. Now, we're getting requests for the apps and modules from potential users running Windows.

This code is generally useful because it accesses the BLAS and LAPACK libraries of the Accelerate framework, which are the basis for MATLAB. This brings some serious computing power to Perl, without the overhead and complexity of PDL.

You can see what we've done at optimal method The XS modules are here Color Tool Kit (optional modules for Mac OS)

I've gotten the non-XS modules to work on Strawberry Perl, but have no idea how to get the XS modules compiled. I'd really appreciate some help with this. Thanks
