Subject: Instructions for installing this module under Windows with VC2008
Due to a work-related task i had to install this module today and while i had some difficulties, there is a workable path to get it done. As such, i thought it would be nice to give you details on how to do it. Prerequisites: - Installation of ActivePerl - Installation of Visual Studio C++ 2008 - nmake accessible in the path, download via google - Installation of LibIconv for Windows -- URL: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm -- relevant download: "Complete package, except sources" Necessary steps: 1. Copy the contents of include and lib from LibIconv to the relevant directories in "c:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC" 2. Execute C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition \Visual Studio Tools\Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt 3. execute cpan 4. $ look Text::Iconv 5. Modify Makefile.PL as follows: - Replace this line: $config{LIBS} .= ' -liconv'; with: $config{LIBS} .= ' /link libiconv.lib '; - Replace this line: $Config{ldflags}, $libs; with: $Config{ldflags}; 6. perl Makefile.PL 7. nmake 8. nmake install Explanation: Instead of -liconv MS' compiler "cl.exe" requires "/link libiconv.lib" for one and that this specific string occurs AFTER the source file name for the other.

I did something slightly different. Crude patch included.
