Hi all!

I've uploaded the 2nd beta of my djgpp port of perl 5.004_02 to

        http://sun10.vsz.bme.hu/~s0052mol/
        
Changes over beta 1:

   - Builtin file name globbing. You don't need perlglob.exe any more.
   - This version automatically determines the location of the perl5
     library modules, so PERL5LIB is not needed. 
   - Perl's system() function works better now with command.com or 4DOS. 
     But I still recommend setting SHELL to bash.
   - The directory structure is simpler now.
   - MakeMaker now works with LFN=n.
   - `require' and `use' try to find modules with both LFN=n and LFN=y
     under win0.9x.
   - perl -i.old doesn't truncate files silently when LFN=n.

Now the port seems quite useable, but some modules and utilities are
still
not ported. I would appreciate any patch.

If no problem is found I'll upload the source and binary distributions 
to DJ in two weeks.

Laszlo
