question about perl

Also -- another noobie :( question. What happens upon a successful compile? Does it create new binaries for you, like the ones Caveman releases?

Well the project consists of world, zone, ucs (universal chat server), eqsharemem, and eqlaunch.

By default, world.exe, zone.exe, chatserver.exe, and eqsharemem.dll will be found in your build folder and eqlaunch.exe will be found in the eqlaunch folder.

I build it as a 32 bit app on x64 just fine. Just make sure the perl/mysql/zlib libraries you are building with are 32 bit versions.

I have found that the version of perl you need is the same as the version that the binaries were compiled with. I always have to recompile, the precompiled binaries always want perl 5.8. My server is setup with perl 5.10. It took me a while to get my server up and running and it was on 5.10 so I haven't bother to try to redo it. I have the ability to recompile and that always works for me.
