Scott,

Curl::easy should work on Windows (though haven't tested it personally). I've
had some feedback regarding a few glitches/fixups, which I will include in
v1.21. Here are the details from Shawn Poulson:

Subject: RE: CURL Perl module?
My install/fix process:
- Decompress tar.gz
- Edit Makefile.PL to add correct curl-7.9.7 include directory in @includes
- perl Makefile.PL
- Edit Makefile
  - Line 264, Add "libcurl.lib" to LDLOADLIBS variable
  - Make sure libcurl.lib is installed in the VC6 lib directory
- Edit curlopt-constants.c
curlopt-constants.c(73) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'
curlopt-constants.c(219) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before
'}'
  - Put a semicolon before the closing brace on lines 73 and 219.  VC6 is
picky.
- nmake
- nmake test
- nmake install
Hope this helps.  I'm running Win2k with Activeperl 5.6.1 build 631.  And
I'm using libcurl 7.9.7.
