in thread GDBM_File for Windows?

I cannot install a compiler on this production server, and would (perhaps naively) hope that binaries would be available for anything needed on Windows, since Windows does not come with compilers.

    Then install the compiler on a different windows computer. Then copy the files over after installing it on the other computer. Your Perl versions must be identical since XS modules are compiled to only work with the Perl they were compiled with.
