Thanks Gerrit. I'd much prefer to build my own perl, but the AnyDBM standard module has kept perl 5.8 from building on cygwin for me. A while ago I investigated this and found out that it was a confirmed bug though unresolved at the time. I can't recall where I read about that, but it was a few weeks ago. I have just been curious if the problem was rectified yet. When you mentioned that there was a pre-built binary for cygwin now, I was left guessing whether the problem was fixed by the perl porters or pushed aside by cygwin builders when creating the distro, possibly at the cost of losing one thing or another? So can you tell me anything about the status of this issue?
