How do we compile for perl?

Hi! I got message in an installation text file and I am not sure what or how
to do it.

PHP4: PHP also needs to be compiled with MySQL support;


I downloaded ActivePerl and MySQL 4.1 and installed it on my IIS 5.1.
How do we recompile the php's and is there one in particular or is all file
need to be re-compiled?

I hope that this is clear as I am new to this. :)

PHP is not Perl. You can get precompiled versions of PHP *with* MySQL
support.

HI! I suggest to read up a bit on netiquette :-) Top posting is not done
here.
