  32bit application cannot use 64bit dll. Here is x64 Vim built with  ActivePerl 5.12.4.1205:  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27071670/gvim-7.3.480.x64.dynperl-5.12.4.1205.zip    

Dang if I didn't transpose those and download 5.14.2...

Is there a reason why it can't be made a bit more general?

I know on *nix, when you 'dlopen a lib, you can look at the version and
the calls available' and config yourself to the version you have loaded.

Is that not possible in windows?  Sorta defeats the purpose of **dynamic**,
runtime linking -- if it is really "static", delayed linking...?

Any chance of getting it updated for Active state's current release rather than
one that will be obsolete in a few weeks (5.16 will be out and @ 2 releases
behind , 5.12 will be in line for retirement...)...

(Any chance of me getting it to build with Off-the-shelf, non-proprietary tools without it being a major project??)
