That would most probably fix the problem with mod_perl. Doing this may lead to an incompatibility in principle with trying to use a particular ppm package (having an xs component) provided by ActiveState, but since you have a compiler, that's not a problem for you. > Am I correct in thinking that all I need to do to achieve this > is change "uselargefiles='define'" back to > "uselargefiles='undef'" in win32/config.vc, or is there > anything else that I need to fiddle with too? I'm not sure .... Probably the safest thing to do is to compare the relevant files (Makefile, config*, *.h) under the win32/ subdirectory of the ActivePerl sources with those in the CPAN Perl sources. -- best regards, randy
