Subject:	perl 5.8.6: unable to compile PAR 0.87
Message-ID:	<20050302211121.GA18755@ca-keverets.legato.com>
Mime-Version:	1.0
User-Agent:	Mutt/1.5.6+20040907i

I'm trying to get PAR 0.87 (from http://par.perl.org) installed with
the perl currently in cygwin (v5.8.6).  This install worked with an
older version of perl that was in cygwin (perl, v5.8.2 built for
cygwin-thread-multi-64int)

The error during the install process (normally just: 
perl Makefile.PL && make && make test && make install
) is as follows:

----

This seems to be similar (in a superficial sense at least) to the
problem described in January on this list relating to Courier-0.47
(http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-01/msg01231.html) due to the
references to Win32CORE and `_boot_'.

So, I was wondering if there was anything that changed between these
two versions of perl (in terms of the way they were built, etc), that
would cause this problem, or is there somewhere else that I should be
looking?

Thanks,

Kevin.
