Dear Mr. Woodhead,
That's Fantastic!!
Text::Scan is a great module and I use it a lot. I am sure this upgrade with
benefit many other users as well.
As you asked, here is what I do:
I am using Windows XP, with Microsoft CL compiler. I am upgrading to
ActivePerl 5.8.7 (I was able to install this module in activeperl 5.6.1
which is a quite old version). I guess this setting is common in Windows
platform.
Since no ppd available for such setting, I did the following things:
1. Download Text::Scan v0.23 from cpan (and decompressed it).
2. Perl Makefile.PL
3. Nmake
When I "Nmake", there are warnings showing on screen and it stopped at
certain errors.
Enclosed please see the screen message:
File: "NMake_ErrorMessageOnScreen.txt"
Also enclosed is the Mafile generated from "Perl Makefile.PL"
(My perl compiler is D:\activeperl\Perl\bin\perl.exe)
(The download Text-Scan files are in:
D:\activeperl8\Download\uncompress\Text-Scan-0.23)
Again, thank you Mr. Woodhead! I really appreciate your kind help!
Best regards,
Jack

Hello,
I'm glad to hear you are using Text::Scan. I may be able to help you, but
since I don't work on Windows very much, I might not have the answers. One
thing you can do is send me as much information as possible, including your
platform and all messages generated during the build process.
You should also send an identical message to inline@perl.org, where many
people discuss the Inline module and problems they might have with building
C code with it.

Dear Mr. Woodhead,
I am sorry to bother you, but I have to ask you for help on a perl module
you contributed to CPAN.
It's a great module and I have been using it for a while. But after I
upgrade to perl 5.8.x (from 5.6.x) on Windows, I can no longer install
Text::Scan modul any more.
I tried to compile it on Windows using microsoft nmake and cl, but it didn't
work.
I have many files depends on this module but I have to upgrade to perl 5.8.x
to use some features.
Could you please take a look to see if you can make it installable on
windows system with perl 5.8.x? Or a least give me some hints on what things
I should try.
I really appreciate your help! Thank you so much!
Best,
Jack
