[cc list trimmed; this is more a mod_perl issue than a mysql one.]
Thanks a bunch for your efforts here. I understand that earlier such
bundles were built with VC6, eh? Will you have the
opportunity/ability/tuits to distribute one built with Cygwin, so that the
resultant installation can freely install new/updated modules from CPAN,
including those that need a C compiler? I wouldn't suggest to bundle
Cygwin, but to work with its standard install location, at any rate.
The reason I ask is that I'd like to have a distribution available that
includes HTML::Mason, and which is open for folks to add the precise modules
that they need. Combined with SSH and CVS, this becomes a pretty decent
development environment even for a web developer with only a Windows box.
Perhaps it's more reasonable to request that you add HTML::Mason into the
existing bundle, but that will have its own share of difficulties,
considering the other unspecified modules that people would still be
without. A cygwin-based distribution perhaps could simply ship with Perl's
base install - let the user install their packages through CPAN.
I've looked at getting apache/perl/mod_perl to build wtih cygwin, but I
lacked the knowledge to understand the build hints for Perl, speak nothing
of the rest.
By the way, HTML::Mason may still have a problem here or there on Windows,
which we folks on the Mason list will be glad to help get ironed out, I
believe. At least, I'd be willing to help.
