Can I embed Strawberry Perl in a VC++ 6.0 compiled application or use Inline::C with the compiler mismatch?

I am looking at embedding perl 5.10 in a large C++ application compiled with VC++ 6.0. This leads to two questions. 1) Is it a bad idea to simply use Strawberry Perl as a dependency rather than compile my own perl with VC++ 6.0? Would Strawberry even work given the compiler mismatch?

Recently, the SourceSafe integration into visual studio has started to perform badly because we have moved, and the SourceSafe "server" is located across a VPN which goes across a slow connection.

Modifying decorated names - VS6.0 to VS2005 migration
