Thanks for the report; Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.
Parrot's undergone a lot of changes since this original report, but I know we've had
successful builds with both MSVC++ and strawberry perl recently. (based on smolder
reports, and chatter today on IRC.)
If you can reproduce this (or get a different error) with a recent parrot (which you'll get if you
use the --gen-parrot option on a recent rakudo), you can open a new ticket at
https://trac.parrot.org (we're in the middle of switching from RT to trac for parrot.); There
might be an MSVC++ issue with the packaged version of parrot 1.7.0, so if that gives you
problems, be sure to try configuring with strawberry perl.
Regards.
