Compiling Perl under b20.1

[Charles Wilson]

I've taken Sebastien Barre's suggestions and Steven Morlock's instructions and
successfully compiled perl5.005_02 under Cygwin B20.1 and WinNT4sp4. I took
all their suggestions and created a patch file and collected the instructions
together in the attached package (6kB). It can also be downloaded from

ftp://belgarion.resnet.gatech.edu/pub/cygwin/B20/perl-cygwin-instructions.tar.gz

Yoiu can also find a binary distribution of perl at the same location:

ftp://belgarion.resnet.gatech.edu/pub/cygwin/B20/perl5.005_02-cygwinb20.tar.bz2

It's 2.6Meg, unpack from /. It will install into /usr/local/bin/,
/usr/local/man/, /usr/local/lib/, and a few text files into
/usr/local/src/perl5.005_02/. The ftp server has been up & down a lot lately,
please be patient.

Please comment on both the collected build instructions and the binary
distribution.

Thanks,
Chuck Wilson
