native win32 build performed native win32 build edited makefile cctype msvc80 running nmake trick kudos building perl 595 win32 really easy contrary 588 tried earlier couldnt get compiled either wince win32 9 miniperl built supposedly working idea capabilities grokked print hellon gave compilebat another shot msvcdir set msvcdircprogram filesmicrosoft visual studio 8vc time got complaint xconfigh

readmece apparently arent sufficient get working build wince anybody help along anybody even tried build perl wince recent times latest binaries could find net pretty old perhaps wince really isnt supported despite code included distribution help appreciated time flies like arrow fruit flies like banana tue 05 aug 2008 221511 0200 compiling perl windows mobile wince
