There was a good one referred to me when I asked that question last year; I forget if it was your answer ;-). I'll forward it to you when I get back to the office this afternoon, and to the list a little later. (I just looked it up for Mark S. who asked the same question across the aisle.) Regarding XS-type Modules for ActiveState, it's best to download 'em from ActiveState ready-to-run. XS modules are a problem for those of us who aren't compiling our own Perl. The msvcrtd.lib is not quite compatible with msvcrt.lib IIRC, they're compiled/linked-with-things-compiled-with with different flags (debug mode). On the otherhand, IIRC, MSVCRT.LIB is one of the items in the Redistributable License, so those of us with a MSVC++ License can shoot you a copy. Drop me an email at the office if you want one.
