Re^5: New Perl on server

However, it is also fair to say (for the OP's benefit) that if a module isn't available as a binary build from any of the main PPM respositories, then it is a brave man who embarks on building it without serious malice of forethought, and commitment of time and effort.

Which was, indeed, the point of what I posted. I've also done the VS compiles for a few XS-based modules, and have similar opinions. Thank you. :)
