To what degree will the upcomming versions of Perl support the Win32 versions (Mingw, Cygwin and UWIN) now that the new GCC 2.95.2 are released. GNU make is included in the MingW32 distribution, just as in the other "unix" compilers. Are you going to make a new makefile for the windows ditributions (mingw32/cygwin & uwin), so we can start using the standard gnu make utillity ? JensThread Next
