I have a copy of XP Pro: I just installed ActiveState Perl, Visual C+
+ Toolkit 2003, the MS SDK and the .NET SDK (On my Virtual PC
installation on my mac, btw. Only took about 10 hours, on and off =-)
trying to build parrot using the toolkit command prompt, I get:
Y:\>perl Configure.pl --nomanicheck
Parrot Version 0.3.0 Configure 2.0

Hello, I'm Configure. My job is to poke and prod your system to
figure out
how to build Parrot. The process is completely automated, unless you
passed in
the `--ask' flag on the command line, in which case it'll prompt you
for a few
pieces of info.
Since you're running this script, you obviously have Perl 5--I'll be
pulling
some defaults from its configuration.
