If I wasnt so occupied lately (we just had a baby) I would dig in right away. However, I could get some students to write this up in the next semester. Would make for an interresting challenge.
Maybe a good target would be to get it working on cygwin before doing it on Activestate perl. And if its possible to get it working by using gcc instead of manually building the stub then it should be able to spit out ELF code too with little modifications. I think the Visual C++/ActiveState solution would be quite different from the above solution. There are not that many modules that only work on ActiveState, as compared to cygwin.

However with the C++-level hooks put in place by ActiveState folks during Perl 5.6.x, this may not be that hard. But then, the last time I've written any code using Visual Basic/C++ is more than give years ago... :-) Thanks, /Autrijus/
