An important dependency of this project is the ability to compile Perl and XS-based modules with Visual C++ 8.0, a.k.a. Visual Studio 2005 or the .NET 2.0 SDK C++ compiler. Change made in how C executables and DLLs are compiled with .NET 2.0 have caused significatant problems in building a Perl with this compiler. As of now, Perl cannot be successfully built with this compiler.
