   Download [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/libxml2-dev_2.9.0-1_win32.zip libxml2-dev_2.9.0-1_win32.zip] and [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/libxml2_2.9.0-1_win32.zip libxml2_2.9.0-1_win32.zip].  Extract both to `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev/libxml2-2.9.0` (you'll need to create this directory).
 
-=== Perl 5.10 ===
-  Install Perl 5.10 (I use [http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ ActivePerl]), and make sure it is in your `PATH`.  If 'perl' isn't in your `PATH` then you will need to override the `PERL` variable in `pidgin/local.mak`.
-  You will also need to download [/static/win32/perl_5-10-0.tar.gz perl_5-10-0.tar.gz] and extract to `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev` (it creates its own directory).  This contains headers and an import lib for mingw gcc.
-
-  * Note: If using MSYS and you installed the `mingw-developer-toolkit`, keep in mind that it installs `msys-perl-bin` (Perl 5.6) which takes precedence over the (5.10 or newer) perl in your path, and that will cause problems!  You will need to do one of the following:
+=== Perl 5.20 ===
+  Install the 32-bit Strawberry Perl 5.20.x, and make sure it is in your `PATH` (otherwise you will need to override the `PERL` variable in `pidgin/local.mak` to point to the appropriate `perl.exe`).
+  Download the [/static/win32/perl-5.20.1.1.tar.gz perl-5.20.1.1.tar.gz] development package and extract to `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev` (it creates its own directory).  This is a subset of the full 32-bit strawberry perl zip containing just the headers, import lib, and source for perl.
+
+  * Note: If using MSYS and you installed the `mingw-developer-toolkit`, keep in mind that it installs `msys-perl-bin` (Perl 5.6) which takes precedence over the newer perl in your path, and that will cause problems!  You will need to do one of the following:
    * 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):
 {{{
 #!sh
 mingw-get remove msys-perl-bin
 }}}
-   * ''or'' Set your !ActivePerl 5.10 installation location at the beginning of the Cygwin-specific `PATH`.  Assuming it is installed in `c:\Perl`, put something like this in your `~/.bashrc`:
-{{{
-#!sh
-export PATH=/cygdrive/c/Perl/bin:$PATH
