| Subject: | [PATCH] Make Devel::Declare compile correctly under MSVC |
Hi there,
I was trying to install latest CPAN Devel::Declare on a windows vista
machine, perl 5.10.0, MSVC 2008 and it failed for me.
The problem seems to lie in the two variable declarations at the start
of the "BOOT" section. The following patch fixes the problem (maybe not
properly?) and passes all tests.
