in reply to On building perl...
That is very bizzare indeed, so bizzare, that I don't believe it is the case (many XS modules make use of Perl_Top_ptr).
The only thing I can figure is you've got a corrupt version of perlapi.h.
You can get a fairly recent DB_File from http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/ along with BerkleyDB (the DB_File is actually built with a 4x version of the BerkeleyDB)
The only way to configure perl on win32 is to edit the appropriate makefile.
