[SPAM] RE: [SPAM] RE: [SPAM] What is the status of Perl API for ActiveState Perl 5.10?

You are probably right, but I will give it a try before I follow-up with
ActiveState. (BTW, I asked them the following: Please let me know which
compiler you are using for compiling ActiveState Perl 5.10 on Windows. I
would like to compile PerlMagick API for Graphics Magic for use with
ActiveState Perl 5.10 and I heard that I will get best results if I use the
same compiler as you used for compiling ActiveState Perl 5.10 executable for
Windows.)

I can see how it would be nice to use MinGW (and MinGW-64) to have a cross
platform build using the same build environment, but this is too ambitious
for what I am after at this time: getting PerlMagick build for ActiveState
5.10 to run some performance tests.

I will let you know about progress...

Did they actually say that ActivePerl downloadable binaries are built 
using MinGW?

It is highly unlikely that mixing MSVC-build and MinGW-built code will 
mix ok, at least if OpenMP is involved.
