Jan (ActiveState) confirmed and explained the problem (follow the rt.perl.org link above). > Looks like I wont be upgrading to 5.10 any time soon:) Turns out there is a simple solution - add the -mms_bitfields option to your cflags to get gcc to use the same bitfield-alignment as MSVC. I've submitted a patch to ActiveState, which I hope will make it into their next build. In the meantime be *VERY* wary of any modules for ActiveState 5.10 that are built with gcc.
