I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Windows support?
Any possibility of this being 'ported' for Windows (w/ ActiveState Perl)? Thanks!

Re: Windows support?
I am not sure if the module can work on Windows, but you try asking Randy Kobes to check this.
Follow the link above to "Kobes search".
At the bottom of that page you will find a link to "ppm-request", that's where you can ask Randy Kobes to try to build one for you and for the community,

Re: Windows support?
Hi, You can check here http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html#windows the status of porting to windows. So far I didn't open build on that platform. A fresh try is also highly appreciated ;-P Dongxu

Re: Windows support?
I just tried on Windows using Cygwin, and ran into an iconv issue:

$ make

Re: Windows support?
Hi, Thanks for the trying. This could happen due to different api declarations on different platforms. Linux uses
size_t iconv(iconv_t cd, char **inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft, char **outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft)
, and some others may use
size_t iconv(iconv_t cd, const char **inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft, char **outbuf, size_t *outbytesle +ft
Previous C-style cast in that header is not C++-safe for some gcc versions. Could you pls try this patch.

Re: Windows support?
I'm afraid this didn't do anything really, but shift the error by one line :P

Re: Windows support?
oh, that might be a bug/shortcome of libstdc++ in cygwin, since const_cast is C++ standard functionality. Try updating that lib and re-install pls ;-)
