Re^5: Compiling perl on windows with visual studio

[syphilis]

Though I'm confused because it seems to be called amd64 and I have Intel

Yeah, I have an x64 MS compiler that does the same thing.
I'm inclined to think it doesn't matter as it hasn't caused me any problems. (But that's not necessarily good reasoning on my part ;-)

So it seems that compiler is 64-bit

Does that matter ?
If it does,then I'm thinking there might also be a 32-bit compiler (lurking there in your MSVC installation) that could be unleashed if one knew how to do it. (I don't use MS compilers very often.)
But if it doesn't matter, then I'm thinking "problem solved" :-)
