It is much easier to compile ARSperl on Windows with Visual Studio 6,
the same software as is used for the ActiveState distribution. This
works a lot quicker.
I will look into creating a compiled version of ARSperl for Windows
just as the 1.84 release that was compiled against the 6.3 API's.
BTW: Probably the 6.3 / 1.84 release will work fine for you, also
against a 7.x server. only the newest api capabilities like
ARImpersonateUser are not available, but it would be sufficient for
creating/modifying/deleting entries.
Kind regards,
Michiel Beijen

It is definitely possible to compile ARSperl with Visual C++ Express 2005.
The most common diffculties might be as follows:
(1) You will need also the "Microsoft Platform SDK".
(2) You have to take care that some environment variables are set
correctly. Visual Studio and the Platform SDK both supply batch scripts
to achieve this ("vcvars32.bat" for Visual C++,
"...\Setup\SetEnvLaunch***Retail.Cmd" for the SDK)
(3) After compiling, the so called "manifest" file has to be embedded
into the newly created ARS.dll (don't ask me why), or else you might get
an error message "MSVCR80.dll not found" when trying to run ARSperl.
To do this, run:
mt -manifest blib\arch\auto\ARS\ARS.dll.manifest
-outputresource:blib\arch\auto\ARS\ARS.dll;2
(The "mt" command is installed with Visual Studio)
