in thread Suggestions on Deploying Perl Test Environment
VC9 paid for, not free and then only for 32bit land. Lack of adventurous customers I'm afraid. Your problem with MM_Win32.pm illustrates one of my pet peeves in perl-land. Something I refer to as 'nix bigotry. The in-ability of unix programmers to cut code for windows and get it right. Since they all know that they are the one true way, there seems to be little effort put in coding for the evil empire. I've seen this far more often in CPAN than I like. Not that my contributions amount to all that much, but I bend over backwards in getting things right for other operating systems only to see problems like yours all around. And thats for the few that even bother to make things work for the 'other' OS! Sorry about the rant, but I've been where you seem to be more than once and for no better reason than people can't be bothered to do things correctly. Have you tried the cygwin solution yet? I've gone that way once or twice but have never stuck with it long enough to take...
