AFAIK, it is a dynamically linked version (that is, it uses .dll's for the modules). Perl (5.005_03) can be compiled with cygwin/egcs, as both a statically linked perl and a dynamically linked perl; however, you have to patch the source. See http://cygutils.netpedia.net/ . Perl5.6, due Real Soon Now (tm), will hopefully compile with cygwin out-of-the-box. --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
