in reply to which is the best free method for compiling modules for win32

I use ActiveState daily, without much trouble.

Cygwin also has a perl package, and then you could just use GCC to compile any packages that you need. I will warn you, there are some modules that don't play nice with cygwin, off the top of my head though, I can't remember which I've had problems with in the past.

I'm pretty happy using AS and getting my modules from PPM.

    Which would be nice if AS kept the modules current. They do not.

    I would stick with Cygwin and ignore AS, unless you had to use them. Besides if you are like most of us and have a Unix background, then you will feel more comfortable with Cygwin anyway.
