Hm - can you describe the failure more - I just tried, and it worked to build
against strawberry perl on mingw, without any issues. All I did was set
-DPERL="c:/strawberrly/perl/bin/perl.exe".


      

        
That might be the secret sauce I’m missing. I will be offline for a day or three, will test when I’m back.


      

      
It should suffice to put strawberry perl first in PATH. All that the -DPERL
does is to use that, instead of 'perl' from PATH. If putting strawberry perl
ahead in PATH failed, something else must have been going on...
