You got the wrong configure (notice small "c"). Try to extract Configure from the tar file (this is the bigger one).

I'm having difficulty getting perl to install:

I'm starting with a clean installation of GNU-WIN32 as per the FAQ

I'm then following the instructions given by K.M.Syring, as updated
yesterday. (http://www.edv.agrar.tu-muenchen.de/~syring/gnu-win32/index.html)

I'm assuming that instruction 1. should refer to /srcdir, rather than
srcdir (I have tried both).

When I get to instruction 3 - "sh Configure", the script appears to
run recursively. On screen I get:

bash$ sh Configure
sh Configure -ds -e
sh Configure -ds -e -ds -e
sh Configure -ds -e -ds -e -ds -e
sh Configure -ds -e -ds -e -ds -e -ds -e
