Re: [Mingw-users] Modules for perl on win32

[John v. V. <joh...@ya...>]

Hi, this is a topic of huge interest for me.

I'm switching back and forth between MinGW and UWIN, sort of like a race.

Since this list is religously Free-S/W (as am I), I personally want to avoid
ActivePerl, despite being a good company throughout.  

UWIN is a concession, partly because it is led by David Korn and KSH has been
the basis of my career, and there has been a successful port of GNOME, here in
NY.

UWIN Perl is stuck on 5.4.2 or something, bad, and since the compile sources
are missing, I cant add any new modules.

To make matters worse I am only starting to study the C language and much of
that time is going to be spent understanding Perl6 (and Python) internals.

Often mentioned, I do have an internet box available for any use imaginable,
expect network attacks (it seems I have to mention that ;).

Just go to Menu->Join-> Click "want to become a developer".  That gives you a
login and Perl oMail or SQ WebMail.  oMail is what I use, but it needs all the
help it can get... http://Omail.SourceForge.net

TOPAZ, an early Perl6, was written in C++, but... not for VC.  Since MinGW is
getting along so well, the Free S/W option was taken.  TOPAZ is moot of course.

I'm not sure where Perl6 stands but I will crosspost to Perl6-Internals.

Great SIG !!

Are you involved w/ Free S/W graphics, there is a huge crossover between gaming
and molecular modelling.  Obviously, we're more interested in the gaming part
but I do hold a huge bunch of computer based medical stocks. (Oops !! ;)
