I tried installing just Proc::ProcessTable but it comes up with this error

This appears to be a problem with an attempt to cross-compile Linux code on Windows. The Inline::Python docs say: Previous versions of Inline::Python worked on Windows and Cygwin -- this version has never been tested there. I strongly suspect it will require patching. Please send me patches. So - it looks like the authors are looking for assistance in getting this to run on Windows. Memory fault -- brain fried	[reply]

Considering 50% of my job at $work is coding in Python, and although Unix is my primary Operating System, I do use Windows VMs to write berrybrew, I think I'll have a look at the issues the author is having and see if there's anything I can do (if I can get some time).	[reply]

That would be great Inline::Python today considered a must module on windows if you taking into considerations all the ML libraries that python have and Perl haven’t	[reply]
