perl-libwin32

perl-libwin32

[Erik Agee]

Can anyone out there tell me the status for support of this package?  It is
no longer listed in setup, and I can't find any discussion of it in the
archives since 2014.  Seems like it just disappeared one day.  What
happened, and are there any plans for it to return to Cygwin?  It still
exists in CPAN (now as the pseudo-module Bundle::libwin32).  All I see in
setup now are packages for the API component modules (which I don't need).



I have some legacy code that uses modules in this former package, that I
need to get working on Cygwin 2.9.



Thanks for your help.

Most of it doesn't build or work correctly on Cygwin or only under 32bit
Windows or depending on things that don't belong to Cygwin.  So official
support for the whole bundle is quite unlikely.

You can certainly try to build them yourself.  Depending on what you
actually use it might still be working for that case.
