I used to have use Visual C compiler from 1998, aka VC98. I have compiled some Perl XS modules with it. When I got a new PC it did not have that old compiler on it. I copied my Perl directories over, and they seem to work. I just downloaded the free (as in beer) Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 from Microsoft.
Q1. Can I use it to compile new XS modules without problems? Q2. Should I recompile all the existing XS modules? perl -v This is perl, v5.8.7 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 7 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2005, Larry Wall Binary build 813 [148120] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com ActiveState is a division of Sophos.
