I've taken Sebastien Barre's suggestions and Steven Morlock's instructions and successfully compiled perl5.005_02 under Cygwin B20.1 and WinNT4sp4. I took all their suggestions and created a patch file and collected the instructions together in the attached package (6kB). It can also be downloaded from ftp://belgarion.resnet.gatech.edu/pub/cygwin/B20/perl-cygwin-instructions.tar.gz Yoiu can also find a binary distribution of perl at the same location: ftp://belgarion.resnet.gatech.edu/pub/cygwin/B20/perl5.005_02-cygwinb20.tar.bz2 It's 2.6Meg, unpack from /. It will install into /usr/local/bin/, /usr/local/man/, /usr/local/lib/, and a few text files into /usr/local/src/perl5.005_02/. The ftp server has been up & down a lot lately, please be patient. Please comment on both the collected build instructions and the binary distribution. Thanks, Chuck Wilson
