in reply to compile modules @activeperl

I second using dmake as the make utility with ActiveState/Windows. If it is not installed in your Perl distribution already, the PPM for it should be on the ActiveState site.

Good luck. -c

ActivePerl is built using MS's compiler and `nmake`. These are actually better choices. MinGW + `dmake` can be used too. Both combos are freely available. Recent versions of `cpan` and/or Perl's module building toolchain will use MS's compiler and `nmake` if found, and fall back to installing and using MinGW and `dmake` if not.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
