I'm not sure why it's happening but it's not finding the mingw include files (sys/types.h, stdlib.h, etc) even though the INCLUDE path is set and the files exist. It's not just Time::HiRes but appears to be all (?) XS modules.

This is a (known) problem with MinGW and Vista. It may be possible to move the c:\strawberry-perl\mingw folder to c:\mingw and adjust PATH, LIB and INCLUDE environment variables to match. See http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=MinGW_installation for details.

Ick :( I'm going to consider this post-next release. For now, we'll just advertise as being compatible with Win2k and XP. Adam K On 28/10/2007, via RT <bug-Perl-Dist-Strawberry@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

Previously I had added some environment variables to get it working. I looked at what was in the INC and INCLUDE environment variables again last night and found the paths had been duplicated. Once I trimmed them back down installing XS modules started working again (well, most of them any way).

This, I believe, should now be fixed as part of the general Vista GCC fixes.
