I wasn't aware of a prepackaged perl binding.  I am confined by some DIACAP and STIG requirements as this is being used by the USA military.  I have to show chain of custody from source to final product.  That's why I'm trying to build from source.  I'm wondering if I am missing a define or something simple like that, as the xapian-core was built with zero problems.  I tried to mimic what you did for the win32 makefiles for xapian-core, but not sure I have everything correct.  I wish I could go with mingw or even ditch windows altogether, but alas, contracts constrain me. 8(
