I don't remember it being very difficult to build Perl with VC. I've attached

Yes, it isn't once you learn about the different toolchains that most
binary distributions
of Perl have been built with and the fact that both httpd and mod_perl
like to be built
with Visual Studio. I was (and stil don't consider myself) familiar with
building software
on Windows, so I had to learn the hard way.
I've been able to build Perl 5.20.1 with VC11 and on mod_perl before I
saw your message.
Your notes are very welcome, maybe I can improve the process a bit for
this setup.
With 5.20.1 I had (as per Readme.Win32) to edit the Makefile so it knew to
- build 32-bit binaries on my 64-bit box (XAMPP's httpd is a x86 build)
- and that I was using VC11 Express.
I didn't wait all the tests, but the result was a (AFAIK) working mod_perl.
Thanks a lot for your help folks!
And if you want to consider that as feedback:
Yes, for $ME mod_perl seems to be loadable - even working with the httpd
2.4.10 build in XAMPP 1.8.3-5
At one condition: Compile Perl yourself with (I'd guess) the same Visual
Studio version as was used to
build httpd and don't use the included StrawberryPerl.
Best regards
Mathieu
