I can confirm that Net::Z3950 will build under cygwin.

--Eric, I have not installed it, and it looks like there is there's no PPM at ActiveState at least according to http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Modules/dist_html?dist_id=9350, unless someone else has built one? Please shout if you have!
Net::Z3950 relies on the Yaz toolkit and Event.pm. Event will not build under MSWin32-x86-multi-thread, so that likely rules out ActiveState.
According to http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/91392 Event will build under cygwin-thread-multi-64int.
So perhaps if you change your perl to cygwin, have C++, Yaz and Event installed, you might get it to build. I wish I had time to try it out.
Good luck, Peter

If I have installed ActiveState Perl on my Windows computer, then how do I install net::z3950?
When I run ppm and then type 'install net-z3950' I get a message saying that 45 bytes were downloaded, things were successful, but there are no new modules in my path.
Has anybody here installed Net::Z3950 on Windows?
