Subject:	ANNOUNCE: Release 2 of DJGPP port of Perl 5.6.1
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

Hello.

Release 2 of the DJGPP port of Perl 5.6.1 is now available.

This release fixes inconsistencies in the handling of environment variables
via the %ENV associative array. Previously the environment variable names were
treated case-insensitively most of the time, but case-sensitively when
accessed via %ENV. Now the environment variable names are treated
case-sensitively in all cases. (DOS supports case-specific environment
variable names, although COMMAND.COM always capitalises them, when you use
'set'.)

If you wish only to use Perl, please download the binary distribution -
perl561b.zip. If you wish to examine the sources or rebuild from sources,
please downlaod the source distribution - perl561s.zip.

http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/perl561s.zip&name=perl561s.zip

The diffs and readme for release 2 can be found in gnu/perl.561/djgpp -
rel2.diff and rel2.txt respectively.

If you have any questions about or problems with the port of Perl, please post
them to the newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp. This is also accessible via the
mail-to-news gateway on djgpp AT delorie DOT com.

Regards,
