This I guess is precisely what the piece of code in Perl_DJGPP_init
does that I sent to this list on July 4th 2000 in this same thread.

It takes argv[0], looks for the last / and strips of the string
"/bin" before that. This last step fails when there is "\bin"
in the prefix which is why we get in @INC something
like c:\djgpp\bin/lib/perl5 instead of c:/djgpp/lib/perl5 as intended
