Dear dbd-pg staff
Is there some standard way how to compile this module: DBD-Pg-2.8.5 or so with Postgres 8.3 installed on Windows XP service pack 3
with standard ActiveState perl 5.8.8 installation and Microsoft Visual C ++ 6.0 compiler ?
In ActiveState repository , there's no precompiled version ( for versions 2 and higher )
and i am not able to compile your Pg module ( from version 2.5 up to 2.8.5 ) at all .
Other XS modules get fairly well compiled with ActiveState and Visual c ++ but that one doesn't succede to compile for more than half a year of your latest versions
of DBD-Pg , yet this module should be very welcome and better than DBD-ODBC i am using.
Your hints to compile Postgres and perl from source is not a good idea here since we have to use standard distributions of database and ActiveState perl compiler.
Although your Make file reports "looks good ..." , your source crashes to compile.

Could you please look at this and tell me if it is possible to compile your module ?
Thanks in advance
