I've uploaded libwin32 0.24 to CPAN. This is a snapshot that corresponds to the libwin32 modules included in ActivePerl 5.8.6.811. I still have a mailbox full of patches collected over time that should be reviewed/applied, but I wanted to get the current sources out right away. I apologize for taking so long in making this happen.
I plan to go through these accumulated patches over the next few weeks and apply them whenever possible. I'll post them to this mailing list as I go along.
If anybody feels a particular affinity to one of the libwin32 modules, please let me know and I'll pass along the outstanding patches so that you can help in the review. :)
Great!
I have a huge cygwin patch pending, based on rafael kitover's cygwin work, simplifying the hints (one central hints file for all), some missing functions centrally defined, and one huge central headerfile. (no MODULE/pports.h et al., => ../win32perl.h, ..)
Also lots of needed casts.
I can be reviewed at <http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/publ/cygwin/release/perl-libwin32/perl-libwin32-0.191-3.patch>
This is the current cygwin patch, works fine for cygwin, and reportedly should work on mingw, MSVC and Borland also. But on my own tests (MSVC-6SP2) I found some minor problems with missing MSVC includes.
I'll try to clean that up in the next weeks.
