First, thanks for updating this distribution on the CPAN, and for setting up this mailing list.
I tried to build libwin32-0.24, but in the nmake step, xsubpp choked with: "Didn't find a 'MODULE ... PACKAGE ... PREFIX' line" on the following files: NetAdmin.xs ODBC.xs Pipe.xs Win32.xs Googling around, I applied this ParseXS patch from Steve Hay which seemed to work around my build problem: http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11472 However, it seems better to fix the offending modules so that they don't choke on the standard perl 5.8.6 version of ParseXS. Can anyone confirm that after applying the ParseXS patch, I now have a clean build of libwin32? After completing the build, I got test failures in: APINet (Can't add a user) NetAdmin (I guess due to permissions creating users/groups) Shortcut Generally, lacking sufficient permissions, tests should SKIP, not FAIL. More details of test failures below: 'APINet': ----------------- C:\perl586\bin\perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, '..\blib\lib', '..\blib\arch')" t\test.t t\test....not ok 5 Can't add a user so there really isn't any point in continuing... dubious Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) DIED.
