Latest version is 9 Nov 99 (-991109)
Changes (991005) --- (991109):
- it's perl5.005_62
- most of the previous cygwin-specific patch was accepted into the main tree
- a few patches were rejected because the files in question changed
dramatically; changes were no longer applicable.
- new cygwin-specific patch:
- change "CYGWIN" pre-processor define to "__CYGWIN__"
- a few changes to hints/cygwin.sh in response to perl5-porters questions
Changes (990906) --- (991005):
- Thanks to suggestions from Sebastien Barre, hints/cygwin.sh updated
so that executables and dll's are built stripped. This behavior will
propagate to any modules that are built using this perl. It seems to work
well, and the modules/executables are much smaller; however, if
anyone screams loudly that this is a bad idea, please let me know and I
will revert.
- Since this change affects how modules are built, I have rebuilt all
of the downloadable modules. However, the old modules should work fine
with the new perl, and vice versa.
Depending on your browser, you may need to right-click/"Save link as"
on the links below, rather than just clicking on them.
If you wish to install a binary package, do the following:
- cd to /
- unpack the binary distribution. It will install itself into /usr/local/lib/perl5, usr/local/man, and /usr/local/bin.
- you're done.
If you wish to build perl yourself, do the following:
- unpack the original source distribution from cpan.org in /usr/local/src
- unpack the patchkit somewhere else
- copy perl5.005_62-patch into /usr/local/src/perl5.005_62/
- cd /usr/local/src/perl5.005_62
- NT only: chmod -R +w *
- patch -p1 < perl5.005_62-patch
- read perl5.005_62/README.cygwin
Or, download the patched source and just do steps #1 and #7.

Precompiled modules
Only for perl5.005_62. Do not use with
perl5.005_03. To install these modules, use the rpm package
available here. These modules have been recompiled
for perl5.005_62, since the installation path is different for
each perl development release.
Also, they were built using "make pure_install". This means that the
documentation file perllocal.pod is not updated with each module
installation. As far as I know, RPM can't append to pre-existing
files, only replace them, so when I made RPMs using "make install,"
it led to installation conflicts. In any case, perllocal.pod is a poor
substitute for the RPM database, anyway, so it's not a big loss --
and was not an issue prior to version _62.
