To experience what what is like? Do you mean "experience what installing libwin32 is like", or "experience what Vanilla Perl is like"? I have plenty of experience of installing libwin32. I just run "perl Makefile.PL; nmake; namke test; nmake install" and it always works just fine. Couldn't be simpler. As for experiencing what Vanilla Perl is like, I confess I have none, but then the statement on this page: http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Vanilla_Perl that Vanilla Perl "will most likely never be usable for general development" is probably a little off-putting for most would-be users anyway. ------------------------------------------------ Radan Computational Ltd.
