Building Text::Iconv on Windows



Hi,

I'm the author of the Text::Iconv module. Quite often I'm getting
requests from Windows users about building Text::Iconv on Windows,
probably because a binary version is not available from ActiveState.

I'd like to help, but since I don't have access to a Windows system, I
can't say much. It does seem that people have succeeded in building
Text::Iconv on Windows, unfortunately I've never gotten feedback, so I
don't know whether there are any issues.

So, I'd like to ask people who've built Text::Iconv to please help me
out here. What tools did you use? Where can you get them? Did you
need to make any changes in the Makefile.PL or in Iconv.xs?

Thanks and greetings
