In the past 24 hours I installed Perl 5.8.7.813 and the newest free
Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 compiler. The Toolkit 2003 worked
after I went into Config.pm and did
# cc => 'cl',
"c:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003Binwin64cl.exe"
This also worked (from the toolkit command prompt):
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install
I am using Windows XP Pro. I was expecting a file called
PAR-0.89-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.7.par
to be automatically produced somewhere. I was going to volunteer it for
anyone else needing it. The find command could not find it. Obviously I
don't quite know what I am doing. No one else seems to have asked for
it so this is not a high priority item, but if someone could shine some
light on this that would be nice.
Thanks
