well, that helps. Can you install all of the Win32::Process, etc, modules based on it? I'll give him a try. > If all you really want is a native windows perl built with a free > compiler then, as $Bill said, gcc/mingw is the way to go.

I'm using cygwin for a *reason* - screen, vim, etc. all work. Which is very, very nice. > There are instructions in 'Readme.win32' in the AS (and cpan) perl > source distro on how to go about building perl with gcc. > > (I also kept some notes on how I went about it - which I could forward > to you if you want to go down that path.) yeah, that would be nice too. I'm assuming the instructions have to do with mingw.
