if you do use b20 or even b20.1 I would recommend to use Sergey's port of
X11R6.4 which is distributed in binary precompiled form at

    http://www.lexa.ru/sos

That's the most basic things for X11. But beware of compiling the official
latest.tar.gz package from perl.com since many people on this list have
trouble getting it compiled, especialy the dynamic part, please see the going
threads on perl on this list before posting questions.

Stipe
