Yes, we are. Absolutely :)

Is it so much of a trouble to build the thing by themselves if copy-n-paste instructions are given?
Maybe not, but we need to shell out $500 - $1000 to Microsoft to get the "Visual Studio" :( (that is, if we want to keep the benefits of ActivePerl, I guess).
So any other open source compilers don't cut? (gcc?)
But, you're probably right. Have people build their own for debugging. I'll have a go at it later this week.
But a binary non-debug version *is* needed. Because "we" are spoiled, a lot of people would simply not use mod_perl unless they can get a binary :( (and that's not what we want).
That's true. But we are talking about early adopters and hoping that they are ready to wrap their sleeves up once in a while ;)
BTW: The binary/PPM install instructions in the 2.0 docs are superb. It took me about 20 minutes to install (perl5.8, apache2 and) mod_perl2!
Great, no more trouble for Randy.
