OK, I guess I can see that.
I was aware of the pass through issue(s), but wrote that way anyway
because it makes/made it easier for me to visually scan the code for
subroutine calls. And I wasn't real concerned about the prototype issues
since I don't use that approach. But if it makes things confusing for
the next poor sod who comes along.... well, I'm not planning on living
forever.
Thanks guys, you've given me something to think about.

Subject: determining whether a server supports secure authentication
Message-Id: <859gh5Fhf9U1@mid.individual.net>
Hello newsgroup,
I'm trying to use thunderbird to get an e-mail capability on linux, and
since this is the only reason I have to boot windows at all, I'd like to
figure it out.
Where I'm stuck right now is that I know OE uses SSL authentication to
get my mail successfully when I ask for it, but the t-bird set-up is
telling me that the server does not support it.
http://i42.tinypic.com/s5vktk.jpg
This image shows what qwest says are the thunderbird settings. I admit
the possibility that qwest is a crappy corporation with misleading
information, but the evidence points elsewhere.
When I change thunderbird's settings to be analogous to the above, then
I get this:
http://i39.tinypic.com/28ulb3d.jpg
Can I use the perl programming language to determine whether what type
of authentication this server understands?
Thanks for your comment and cheers,

"SSL Authentication" != "Secure Authentication".
You probably just have to turn "Secure Authentication" off (but leave
STARTTLS on).

Yes. However, you don't have to write that program yourself, as somebody
has already done it: Look for "swaks" (the SWiss Army Knife for Smtp).
Some linux distributions (e.g. Debian) include it, or you can download
it from http://www.jetmore.org/john/code/swaks/

What was going on here was that I was conflating secure connections and
secure authentication. The latter is an MS thing, and the whole picture
you get of it as a windows user slightly distorts what is actually
happening.
I was "sure" that I was using SSL, and in my head it sounded right that
a secure socket layer would employ secure authentication. They are
completely separate notions.
So, problem solved by unchecking a box.

Odd - I've just downloaded that exact same compiler, and it works fine
for me with ActivePerl. I've just used it to build Text::CSV_XS-0.73.
I don't think I've overlooked anything in my instructions (apart from
the need to have dmake - but you're ahead of me on that, anyway :-)
The solitary "-O2" in the failing command is a bit of a puzzle - the
patch should have changed that to an "-s -O2", but I don't think
that's what's causing the failure.
Anyway, if you're happy with Strawberry Perl (and there's no reason
you oughtn't be) then that's the simplest route to travel. It gives
you a compiler built by the same person (and same toolchain) as the
20100515_sezero zip you downloaded - but Strawberry has gcc-4.4.3, not
the gcc-4.4.5 that's currently on offer.
Cheers,
Rob

That's my fault, because I accidently patched the wrong file. That's
fixed now:

You're right, that's not causing the failure.

I will install Strawberry Perl 5.12, 64 bits on my Windows Vista and
see if that works for me.

Basically, problem solved, however I still insist in getting MinGW
running with Activestate Perl, so I did the following:
I removed "C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\bin" from
the path (and carefully left "C:\strawberry\c\bin" in there, so to
have the MinGW compiler still available), then I added "C:\Perl64\site
\bin;C:\Perl64\bin" to the path to re-instate Activestate Perl
So basically I replaced Strawberry Perl by ActiveState Perl (but left
the MinGW64 part in the path).
I also made sure that the two patches (to lib/ExtUtils/MM_Win32.pm and
to lib/ActivePerl/Config.pm as provided by sisyphus) were re-instated.
Fortunately, when I now run "dmake", I get past the error ("gcc.exe:
