Re: (Q)how to use perl in cygwin-b20?

[Charles Wilson <cwilson at ece dot gatech dot edu>]

See my site, http://cygutils.netpedia.net/B20/ for a precompiled perl.
You don't need to install rpm to use my perl package; however, rpm is
useful with *one* of the three perl binaries on my site:

perl-5.005_62
  most recent development snapshot of perl that I compiled for B20
(newer binaries on my site, including perl-5.6.0, were built for V1.1 &
the CD). You can use rpm (also provided at cygutils) to install
precompiled extension modules.

perl-5.005_03-dynamic
  stable perl release. Includes various precompiled modules, dynamically
linked from the main perl.exe. You don't need rpm for this version.

perl-5.005_03-static.
  stable perl release. Includes precompiled modules statically linked
into perl.exe.

---------

Don't try to build perl-5.6.0-RCanything or the 5.6.0 release using B20;
it won't work. The latest perl uses features provided by the more recent
cygwin dlls. The latest version of perl that would compile with
cygwin-B20 was 5.005_62.
