Win64-GUI

All,

With the (slow) rise of 64 bit computing is there a need to consider a 64 bit version of Win32-GUI? Activestate now has a 64 bit version of Perl supported with all their tools (i.e., PerlApp) for windows.

Thoughts on benefits, risks and effort involved?

Cheers,

Jeremy.

It'd be a nice goal, but for me it sits firmly in the camp of full
unicode support:  I don't think it's worth it on the current code
base.

As you know I've been talking about a comlete re-write, and I hope to
get time in the next few months to put together a proof of concept.
However, I wouldn't want to deter anyone else from investigating, as
it may not be as bad as I am imagining.

Furthermore I don't have a 64-bit environment to start playing with.

Regards,
Rob.
