in reply to RFC: Setting up a minGW compiling envronment for Perl 5.10

My perl environment on windows, particulary for GUI:

perl 5.10 from sources, I don't use Strawberry because perl builds easily.
MinGW 5.1.3 binary
MSYS 1.0.10 binary
GNUWin32 packages
GTK+ precompiled libraries from http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/modules/news/
Glade 3.4.1 from sources
Expat from sources


This way from cpan prompt I can install any perl module.
Everything is quite easy but for the gtk-perl modules:
Gtk2, Glib, Cairo. The necessary fixes can be found in gtk-perl mailing list (http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.gtk%2B.perl).
