There's http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page or you could post to perlmonks where you'd be liklely to attract the attention of people more actively involved with the Strawberry project (so long as "Strawberry" appears in the subject line). To build XML::Parser (which was mentioned in your first post), you first need an expat library -which is not all that difficult to obtain. See http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Expat_Hacking It's probably also worth having a ppm utility on your Strawberry Perl so that you can make use of all those ppm packages that already exist in the usual ppm repositories. (Although those packages have generally been built using the Visual Studio compiler, they will work fine with Strawberry Perl.) You can install PPM-2.1.7 from cpan but you first need to apply patches written by Randy Kobes and available at http://rt.cpan.org//Ticket/Display.html?id=21871 . (I think XML::Parser is a pre-requisite for PPM.) Both of the above links are obtained from http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Vanilla_Perl_Problem_Modules . I don't know much about Log::Log4Perl, but there's a ppm package of version 1.06 available from the uwinnipeg rep. (See http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ .) I can't see any mention of LogLog4Perl having an IO::Tty dependency. It's certainly not mentioned in the Makefile.PL ( http://search.cpan.org/src/MSCHILLI/Log-Log4perl-1.07/Makefile.PL ) which is the one place it *ought* to be specified if such a dependency exists. Perhaps the IO::Tty dependency is creeping in from some other module ? I wouldn't expect IO::Tty to build on Win32 (including Strawberry Perl), and I can't find a ppm package for it anywhere. I don't regard Strawberry's inability to build IO::Tty as a bug. I'm not sure that *any* of your problems are actually a bug - and it's probably best to avoid using that term until it has been determined that the problem you face actually *is* a bug. Some (overly sensitive) people get annoyed if the "bug" accusation is not really a bug :-) Also, it would probably help with the diagnosis if you provide a copy'n'paste of the errors you got.
