Hi Mark,
I've struggled through getting Perl working on Win32, and can say "Success".
Almost. :)

Well, I lie, it works fine, but I'm not sure about the linking phase. In the
final linking phase, I had to link in perl58.lib, when in fact we just want
to load that dynamically on startup (as a DLL). I'm worried if we the
perl58.lib file in linked into NeoStats, then its going to be very very
version specific with regards to what version of ActivePerl that is
installed.

To test it out, grab the latest (5.8.x) version of ActivePerl and install it
in c:\perl (or modify the includes and lib in Perl-Debug configuration
option for Visual Studio)

Cheers

Justin
