In the two years since we've been keeping Win32 mod_perl binaries here, there's been an average of about 30 downloads per day, suggesting Win32 users make up a fair percentage of mod_perl users ... And such a user, working (willingly or not) in M$'s own backyard, and perhaps amongst skeptical colleagues, can be a pretty strong advocate of free software ... So in a large list like this, remember to include the :)s ... best regards, randy kobes

[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]
