Thanks Rafael
Well it is not acutally perlcc that I am after. I try to compile a CPAN
module and the compiler does not find the path to some important files like
perl.h and XSUB.h etc... From what you say I understand that it is wrong to
use ming but ratjer use the cygwin gcc and g++.
I got the former right from the setup installation. But I don't have g++.
Is it posiibble to download and cleanly install it on my current cygwin.
