________________________________________________________________________________ Win32::UTCFileTime, Version 1.50 ________________________________________________________________________________ PREREQUISITES Windows This module is only applicable on "native" (i.e. non-Cygwin) Microsoft Windows platforms since only those platforms have C run-time libraries suffering the behaviour to which this module provides corrections. Compiler You need a C compiler to build this module. Note that you should try to use the same compiler as was used to build your Perl itself. In particular, this module may not work correctly if it loads a different C run-time DLL to that loaded by perl itself. Note that Visual Studio 98 (VC++ 6) and earlier produce binaries that require the system's msvcrt.dll, while Visual Studio .NET/2003 (VC++ 7), Visual Studio 2005 (VC++ 8) and later (including the free Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and the free Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition) produce binaries that require compiler-specific DLLs named msvcr70.dll, msvcr71.dll, msvcr80.dll etc. Therefore, building this module with anything later than Visual Studio 98 for use with any ActivePerl, which are known currently to be built with Visual Studio 98, may not work. The Makefile.PL script will try to detect if a different compiler is being used and will give a warning if necessary. Note, however, that it is not always possible for it to detect which particular compiler version was used to build Perl, especially for Perl version 5.8.6 or older, which did not have this information stored in the standard library module Config. Perl Perl version 5.6.0 or later. The latest version of Perl is available from http://www.perl.com/. Perl Modules There are no non-standard Perl modules required by this module. INSTALLATION To install this module, cd to the directory that contains this INSTALL file and type the following: perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake test nmake install Use "dmake" rather than "nmake" in the commands above if that is what your Perl was built with. To determine which make program was used to build your Perl type the following: perl -V:make ________________________________________________________________________________
