Hmm, just the standard ActiveState install: c:\programs\perl\bin>perl -v This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 25 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2006, Larry Wall Binary build 817 [257965] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com Built Mar 20 2006 17:54:25 When I removed the Perl piece I did successfully build and compile Vim. So maybe the Perl code has to be updated for Visual Studio 8. Dave
