I don't know which upgrade brought this, but currently when I use Build.PL (and the resulting Build files) I get (in reverse video no less) the message:
It looks like you don't have a C compiler on your PATH, so you will not be able to compile C or XS extension modules. You can install GCC from the MinGW package using the Perl Package Manager by running: ppm install MinGW I've become somewhat numb to it, but it's a completely pointless and unhelpful message, since this machine I'm working on will never develop anything in C. I haven't been able to find anything in Module::Build documentation that tells me how to tell it that this is a pure Perl module. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I'm using ActiveState perl version 5.14.1, and Module::Build version 0.3800. Thanks, -john
