Notes on Perl on Windows ------------------------ There are a number of build targets that can be viewed as "Windows". Indeed, there are VC-* configs targeting VisualStudio C, as well as MinGW and Cygwin. The key recommendation is to use "matching" Perl, one that matches build environment. For example, if you will build on Cygwin be sure to use the Cygwin package manager to install Perl. For MSYS builds use the MSYS provided Perl. For VC-* builds we recommend ActiveState Perl, available from http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl.
Really?, I thought ActiveState ActivePerl was pretty much dead/historic. While I have not bothered with OpenSSL 1.1.x builds yet, I usually use Strawberry Perl for VC-related work, and it seems to work fine with the 1.0.2 sources. Since I have not tested with 1.1.x sources, this is obviously not intended as advice to people trying to build, more as something you might consider for an updated version of NOTES.PERL (after testing it of cause).
