Subject: Makefile.PL fails on WinXP w/ AS 5.8.8
Makefile.PL failed on my WinXP install (activestate 5.8.8 Build 822) with "No library found for /core/perl58.lib". It appears the way in which Config is used isn't working in gen_msvc(). By moving the "require Config" to the package includes as "use Config;" and changing from my $libpath = Config->{'archlibexp'}; to my $libpath = $Config{'archlibexp'}; everything works OK.

Thank you for noting this. I think in version 0.27 this is fixed. Internally I am up to version 0.29. I need to get around to releasing it to everyone...
0.30 has now been released on CPAN and includes similar changes. On Tue Mar 18 11:51:30 2008, CODECHILD wrote: Show quoted text
