Re: Building on Win32 - the real problem

I seems your computer is behind a proxy. get this download
http://cloud.github.com/downloads/kthakore/SDL_perl/sdldeps-aug29.zip and
place it in C:/strawberry (not C:/)  and run Alien and SDL perl build again.
If not extract the deps your self and remove the Alien-SDL dependency from
Build.PL in SDL perl.

No worries I am a big boy, I can understand that the module sucks right now.
Hope its gets better though.

Good Idea, I will do that.
