DBD::SQLite is actually already bundled with the last couple of
releases of ActivePerl (because it is being used by PPM4).

If you want to compile XS modules yourself for ActivePerl, then
the following compilers are recommended:

  Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (Visual Studio 98)
  MinGW GCC with dmake

Both compilers will work out-of-the-box with newer ActivePerl
versions.  ActivePerl will try to use VC++, but if it fails to
locate it on the PATH, it will fall back to using GCC.

You can use VC++ 7 (VS.NET) or VC++ 7.1 (VS.2003), but you'll
pick up an additional runtime dependency on MSVCR70.DLL or
MSVCR71.DLL.

Cheers,
