I'm trying to get SDL_Perl to build on my Win2k machine, and I've completely lost hope on it.

Unfortunately, SDL_Perl uses Module::Build, which means its pretty much game over for me. The make script relies on sdl-config, which doesn't come with the binary release of SDL 1.2. However, since the build process uses Module::Build (and I've never *EVER* gotten a Perl module that uses Module::Build to build on any Windows box) I can't manually configure the make file.

I'm tearing my hair out here. I'd really like to be able to use Perl to this project, but for that to happen, I need SDL_Perl to work. Has anyone ever gotten SDL_Perl to build on a Windows box? If so, could I have a binary copy? :)

(Update: I've found a copy of SDL_Perl in crazyinsomniac's ppm repository, but it seems to be compiled for an earlier version of Perl, as it segfaults my machine as well as a friend's.)
