Hi, For the wxperl.co.uk PPMs I'm using a perl 5.8.8 compiled with many, but not all, of the same options that ActiveState use. (I didn't include any of the backwards compatibility options). This is for historical reasons - it is just the way I have my environment set up and can see no benefit in changing at present. I'm using MSVC 6 (so that's nmake) I have the latest platform SDK's installed. For my wxPerl development usage I install the PPM's in an ActiveState 820 build. When perl 5.8.9 / 5.10 arrives, I'll simply switch to ActiveState - it makes for an easier life. If I didn't happen to have MSVC 6, I guess I would use mingw32 rather than MSVC 8.0 free version or whatever. I *think* Mattia uses mingw32 against ActiveState and the free version of nmake for Win32 builds. If I didn't happen to have MSVC 6, I would use that combination.
