Example 1 should be straightforward to do. Perhaps there's something wrong
with your VC++ 2003 configuration. Can you build Math::FFT from cpan ? If
so, that would indicate that the compiler is probably set up correctly (and
we need to look a little closer at why the failure occurs). If not, then
there may be something amiss - in which case it would be a good idea to read
the Readme.win32 that ships with the perl sources - especially the sections
that cover the requirements re the free VC++ 2003 compiler.

Imho, if you want to use a compiler other than MSVC++ 6.0 with ActiveState
perl, then the simplest approach is to install and use dmake, MinGW, and
ExtUtils::FakeConfig. (That will also give you better milage.)

Cheers,
Rob
