No. Someone else is currently working on cygwin-perl; hopefully whenever perl5-porters gets around to releasing 5.6.1, that individual will make a 5.6.1 build available on sourceware. > It's needed for compiling OpenSSH for example. Or, in other > words, are there systems out there who can live without perl??? Very few, probably. However, the perl-5.6.0 at cygutils seems to be in a precarious state right now. Since it no longer builds cleanly on newer cygwin kernels, the 5.6.0 on cygwin is only usable as a pre-built binary. Also, folks seem to be having difficulty using that pre-built binary to build CPAN add-ons (although I haven't had a problem...) It's gonna take some work to get perl into a 'sourceware'-ready state -- and I don't have the time to do it right now. --Chuck
