Although it's somewhat like killing a mosquito using a shotgun, I usually install the Dev-Cpp open-source IDE for Windows. It already comes with everything you need to self-compile your modules (GCC/MinGW, etc) and works out-of-the-box. It's not a big download (8mb I think) so it's something pretty reasonable. The only manual configuration I remeber having to do is to add the GCC /bin dir to my system PATH variable. And then the CPAN shell from ActiveState will automatically configure itself and work using GCC. Since you've upgraded your CPAN shell using a version from the CPAN, I don't know if the magic still works and you might have to manually configure your compiler parameters (but that's a one time thing). -Nilson Santos F.
