As someone who has had to run a fairly complex mod_perl site on win32
because I can't use my linux dev box right now I can tell you that that
mod_perl build works very well (thank you so much Randy !). Of course it
doesn't fix limitations inherent to the win32 platform (mostly that you
can't rely on PerlChildInitHandler to do what you'd expect, you'll have to
change that to some other phase if you need it, and alarm doesn't work
(fork does now iirc)). Even better, I've heard from a friend that the
Sablotron people will be releasing a ppm for XML::Sablotron very soon, so
that AxKit will work on win32 too...
When that's done, just install Cygwin's distro, and you might cease to
notice that you're running win32 altogether :)
