I got a little bit confused now. Should I report now upstream at Perl
that Configure
has a problem by adding .exe, or is it just a problem with your layout?
AFAIK perl does not symlink tr.exe, just its own files when using -Dmksymlinks.
And failing to read a wrong tr.exe symlink does not look like perls fault.
