Thanks for the link - using one of the suggestions and removing the lines
#ifdef BOOST_MSVC
#pragma warning(push)
#pragma warning(disable:4127)
#endif

#ifdef BOOST_MSVC
#pragma warning(pop)
#endif
in the perl_matcher_common.hpp and _recursive.hpp headers fixed the problem.
(The recursive header doesn't seem to cause an error in debug builds, so if
the common crashes for you, edit the other file too.)

Before I came here I tried to find something on SourceForge to no avail. If
anyone else has a problem, hopefully they will pick up this message :)
Thanks again.
