   You will also need to install [/static/win32/perl_5-10-0.tar.gz perl_5-10-0.tar.gz] under `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev` (Containing headers and import lib for mingw gcc).
 
+  Note: If while [http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started installing MinGW graphically (incl. MSYS)] you installed mingw-developer-toolkit, keep in mind that it installs msys-perl-bin - /bin/perl.exe - (5.6) which takes precedence over the (5.10 or newer) perl in your path, and that will cause problems! So, you will either need to:
+
+  * Remove the mingw-developer-toolkit supplied (older) perl (but MAKE SURE you have mingw-get-0.2-mingw32-alpha-3 or later as previous version had issue with unlink'ing/deleting files):
+{{{
+mingw-get remove msys-perl-bin
+}}}
+
+  _or_
+
+  * Set your ActivePerl 5.10 path before the former so that it takes precedence. Assuming you've installed in "c:\perl":
+{{{
+export PATH=/c/Perl/bin:$PATH
+}}}
+
 === Tcl 8.4.5 ===
   Download and extract [/static/win32/tcl-8.4.5.tar.gz tcl-8.4.5.tar.gz] to `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev`
