You don't rely on the .NET Framework.  I was only suggesting this as it
contains the MSVCR70.DLL (and the non-optimizing commandline VC++ 7.0
compiler).

You probably can, but you would end up with multiple C runtime systems at
runtime, which can create problems with structured exception handling
(yes, you would have the same problem when linking in MSVCR70.DLL).

If at all possible, I would recommend building Perl modules with VC++ 6.0.

PS: I spent a few hours trying to trick VC++ 7.0 to just use MSVCRT.DLL,
but there are a few places where the compiler generates calls to internal
function only supported by MSVCR70.DLL.  You are welcome to argue this
with the C++ compiler team.  They seem to believe having to redistribute a
C runtime again is progress. :(
