We have those. Last time I built with them I get all tests passing, though the definition of "all" in use64bitall may or may not include everything it does on other platforms. >I see that both CC and CXX support the /POINTER=64 >or /POINTER=LONG qualifier. The size of the pointer does not necessarily have anything to do with the size of the variable you are pointing to. The only place /POINTER=64 might apply would be with -Duselargefiles (but the C RTL is only very recently beginning to get the support for that) or, if there were such a thing, -Duselargemem for addressing very large chunks of memory (or maybe Perl has some other configuration item for enabling 64-bit addressing?).
