[Koha-win32] Koha3 on Win32

[Rob Weir]

Hello Dr.
I am here, but I am stuck the same place that you are. I have not been 
able to get all of the required modules to compile under Strawberry 
Perl. A new release of Strawberry Perl is due at later this month, and I 
will try again with that version.

Also, it seems that there have been some improvements over the last year 
in the number of CPAN modules that are available and supported for 
Active Perl (see http://ppm4.activestate.com/). I plan to take another 
look at what is available and see if I can find the necessary modules in 
either the main repository or in some of the alternate repositories that 
are listed.

In the mean time, I have been recommending using the virtual image for 
Koha 3. It seems to run fine using vmware server running on a windows 
platform.

If you have any suggestions on how to proceed, please let me know.

Cheers,
Rob
