Subject: Docs should mention Win32 incompatibility
There really should be a mention SOMEWHERE (preferably somewhere immediately visible) that Cache::FastMmap is not compatible with Win32 (and possibly other systems?). This will save many people a lot of time and frustration in trying to install the module in various ways (ppm, cpan, compiling manually, etc.) which will not work.

It does now! I have written a native Win32 support - I tested with Vanilla perl 5.8.8, and have reports of it compiling with MSVC 7 (2003) (I think ActiveState but not sure.)

Message body is not shown because it is too large.

These two files didn't reach patch, can you include them in another attachment? Only in Cache-FastMmap-1.14-win32/Cache-FastMmap-CImpl: unix.c Only in Cache-FastMmap-1.14-win32/Cache-FastMmap-CImpl: win32.c -- Serguei Trouchelle

I'm around, I've just been busy recently and haven't had time to include your updates. I will get around to it, but not in the next week or two sorry. Rob Show quoted text

Is there an up-to-date version of Cache::FastMmap that builds on Win32? 1.28 fails on Strawberry (http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/01/msg3165703.html) and there are no PASSes for it on Windows in the CPAN Testers matrix.

As mentioned in <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45210>, i've just uploaded 1.29 with the Windows patches.
