README says "Perl 5.8 or later", and links prominently to http://qt-project.org/wiki/Get_The_Source , which says "Windows users can download ActivePerl [activestate.com] for free.". So yeah, there's one indirection, we could also link it directly in the README, but it's not entirely inaccessible and undocumented, either :) Regards Kai _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
