as mentioned in the 580 announce, every module based on xs have to recompile the xs . so it is hopeless to install a 561 module based on xs in 580 (for example win32::API) running nmake test with 580 (to test modperl-1.99_02) asks for win32::process in @INC this is in libperlwin32 and it requires win32::API. then I don't see how to test 1.99_02 with perl 580 ... cheers pascal
