I just tried it out and that *does* work for me - but only if I use the 
MinGW-built perl's header (.h) files. If I try to use the 
ActiveState-built perl's header files, then the executable compiles ok, 
but segfaults when executed (irrespective of which perl58.dll gets used).
If there's no workaround for that problem then the OP is still going to 
need a MinGW-built perl to succeed :-)

Actually, if you're using the '-l' switch to specify library files 
you'll want to rename 'perl58.lib' to 'libperl58.a :

gcc -ID:\perl\lib\CORE foo.c -LE:\AS_Perl\lib\CORE -lperl58

Alternatively, if you simply provide the full path to perl58.lib, then 
there's no need to rename it at all:

gcc -ID:\perl\lib\CORE foo.c E:\AS_Perl\lib\CORE\perl58.lib

(D:\perl is my MinGW-built perl, and E:\AS_Perl is the ActiveState-built 
perl.)

Cheers,
Rob
