Thanks,

You asked me on #perl6 to build a Data::Bind binary distribution for Win32-ActivePerl. After working on it for 2 hours, I (re)discovered that it's impossible to do that, using the current generation of gratis downloads of Visual Studio C++ Express 2005, as it seems that Perl does not yet support the new manifest-driven deployment style with the msvcr80.dll prerequisite. Therefore I've built it on VanillaPerl build 3, with the "dmake" that comes with it: Adam Kennedy and friends will probably release StrawberryPerl in a couple weeks, in which case it'd be nice to switch to it: But for now, please install VanillaPerl-3, and extract this zip file to your C:\vanilla-perl\perl\: It should create a "site" directory with an already-built Data::Bind. To build a newer Data::Bind from the Pugs tree, simply "perl Makefile.PL ; dmake install" from perl5/Data-Bind/. (Cc'ing perl6-compiler for other Win32 people who want to help out v6.pm development but has no VC++ 6.0 installed.)
