Hi all, I'm new to perl on Windows, long term casual user of perl on *nix. I was told I should post this issue here.
Context: Win7 x64, fresh default install of Strawberry Perl. Goal: install pp Result: no matter what I've tried so far, all GCC compiles quickly fail due to some kind of (path?) problem: none of the standard *.h files can be found. Ideas? Help with how to diagnose? Any thoughts MUCH appreciated!
