[ANN] perl5.5.660

["Charles S. Wilson" <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>]

perl5.5.660 is now available at
http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/perl-5.5.660/ You will also find a few
precompiled modules at that location.

This might be the last beta before perl5.6 is released, so please bang
on it if you've the inclination. I've found one problem already that I
couldn't figure out: attempting to execute any routine from the libnet
module causes perl to dump core immediately. If anybody's got any ideas
about how to fix that, please let me know.

perl5.5.660 was built using the following external libraries from the
cygutils archive:
  libcrypt
  cygipc-1.05
  db-2.7.7
  gdbm-1.8.0-1
and with the following environment settings. ntsec was not enabled.
  CYGWIN=binmode tty ntea
  built and installed by a non-administrator user
  
Anyway, here are the perl harness results:

FWIW, I also built and tested 5.5.660 with ntsec ON. Here are those
