I think you might be educating me here ... I downloaded the Perl binary for 5.8.8 from ActiveState. This is the Perl that I am running and trying to build XS based modules in. Are you telling me that I must use the same compiler as ActiveState used to generate the binary? If so, how do I know what compiler they used?

I'm not sure I completely understand if this is true. While running 5.6, I would routinely create XS modules using C++ code. Typically I would compile using gcc. But Perl is compiled using some C compiler i.e. not gcc. I thought the XS generated library just created machine code and that the typemap dealt with passing data to and from the C/Perl object to your C++/XS object.
