There are no patches. This is this standard distribution of perl as is
generally implied by the fact that that bleadperl builds OOTB. For anyone
looking for "compatibilty" with ActiveState perl, the best option is to
apply the patch supplied by activestate to the standard perl source
distribution. (This actually fixes some bugs that were released in 5.6.1).

I build perl-5.7.1 once a week, it works.
Don't know exactly how it is with 5.6.1.

Better you get the Perl sources from cygwin with the patches
needed applied by E. Fifer. There is else an additional README
with some cygwin specific hints.

Ack! Are there problems I'm likely to run into if I downloaded the sources from cpan.org & built on cygwin?

It's still classified as an experimental package.  Click the 'Exp' radio
button in setup.exe and you'll see perl.

Perl in cygwin?

[Talbot Michael Katz]

Hi.

I was told that I should download cygwin in order to get perl.  I downloaded
cygwin, but it doesn't seem to contain perl.  Is perl no longer a part of
cygwin, or did my download not work correctly?  Thanks!
