Busy morning on the SWISH-E list.  :-)


Yes, my Windows build of SWISH::API requires a version of ActivePerl
5.8.  

Why?  5.8 has been the "latest" release for almost 2 years, and, API.dll
has to link against the libraries ActivePerl's MakeMaker specifies.  So,
I have to either provide one version, the other, or both.  And picking
the newer version was the easiest choice.


The SWISH::API source itself does not depend on any particular version
of ActivePerl, of course.  One could (not so easily) recompile SWISH-E
and link it against ActivePerl 5.6.  Although, builder beware, I've
never tried to compile anything against ActivePerl 5.6.
