hey *,

i'm extremely new to perl dev under win32 (i've done my share of it under
unix in the past tho) so i'm sure this question has an answer somewhere
obvious and if you could direct me towards the answer/resource from which
the answer is available, i'd be extremely indebted.

in the absence of an available PPM of the latest version of the Win32-GUI
module i tried to install it myself...unfortunately i lack make, and using
cpan to install it fails miserably for many reasons (i tried under cygwin
since i have make/cc there but i should have realized that was not going
to work from the start...).  is there some easy "copy everything over to
the Lib directory" type install for those of us lacking make (where can
i find this nmake.exe many modules refer to?) and an MS dev environment?
the 502 tarball seems to be lacking the dll anyway...
(i've also never used xs stuff before if that wasn't obvious =))

also, what's up with the sourceforge lists?  the links to browse the archives
point to nonexistent geocrawler pages (as of approx 10am CST today) and the
subscribe/unsubscribe pages link to archives that are on sourceforge but
nonexistent also.
since i saw traffic in the httptech archive from this morning i guess this
list is still semiactive...

thanks a million for your help!
