Hi

So is it a general rule that XS modules using *nix distros only work with Cygwin?

Or are there exceptions?

Sorry I'm pretty ignorant about XS interfaces of packages ported to win.exes.

LanX:

Not always, but I have pretty good luck. I can't think of any counterexamples right now, though I've run into them. But most of my perl work is bog-simple stuff, so I'm not stretching the envelope, either.
