[advance appologies for persisting advocacy thread] Absolutelly. Win32 is an entry point for many developers before they move to open source as noticed on the Perl beginners list and I think it's quite important to support the platform (both technical and political) because from an advocacy POV, it's a great source of new recruits (to apache, mod_perl and an open source platform). [footnote: use linux for it's flexibility and built in compiler - win32 is a pain in the rear when it comes to the latter and former]
