Perhaps I am misreading
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/01/msg3090019.html
but it looks as if the C compiler is not set up properly. Why would
anyone be smoking and attempting to build XS modules without their C
compiler being set up. May be this is some other issue. Any
Some people have Perl without a compiler -- this looks like a Windows
ActiveState Perl setup. Why smoke without a compiler? To show what happens
when distros on CPAN get tested without one. (Which could happen for normal
users unknowingly via dependencies, which is one of the reasons that Perl

users unknowingly via dependencies, which is one of the reasons that Perl
without a compiler makes CPAN nearly unusable and one of the reasons that
drove the creationof Strawberry Perl.)

little point in a smoker doing this all day - it will generate loads of

Looks like I'm the culprit here :) Comping to this thread late, so
i'll hop in from some scattered quotes:
