Development of Perl's Module::Build ()

Needing some help with Module::Build and the Intel compiler.

Hello,

  I'm attempting to perform a Perl build on Windows 2003 64-bit using the Intel compiler (version 10.1.032)
and I'm seeing issues with those modules that are using Module::Build.  Basically when I attempt to build
any of these Module::Build based modules, I'm seeing the following type of error:

	perl Build.PL
        compilet-qQxoU.
       (0): internal error: backend signals

Has anyone seen this type of issue or has more experience with using the Intel compiler (along with VS 2005)
to build Perl with?

I'm not a C programmer, so I'm flying in the dark here...

Thanks in advance,

Module::Build is using ExtUtils::CBuilder to do compiling and linking.
AFAIK that doesn't have explicit support for the Intel compiler on
Windows (though I remember icc having a gcc compatibility mode, maybe
it works through that). ExtUtils;:CBuilder is a bit of a mess on
Windows anyway.

Leon,

  Thanks for the response.  I've tried setting various compatibility modes to no avail.  What I haven't tried
is forcing VC 6 compatibility yet.  Maybe I'll give that a shot.

Thanks,
