My understanding is that the windows .exe version is built using the Activestate Perl Dev Kit. That means that you do not have to have the Perl interpreter installed to run slimserver on Windows. To apply patches you will have to rebuild. Running the perl version of slimserver means that patches in perl source code does not need a rebuild. Someone with more knowledge in perl than me, should probably explain how the .exe is built using the Perl Dev Kit.
