The interim version is at http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/publ/cygwin/release/perl-libwin32 (use http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/publ/cygwin/ as setup "User URL:") But I want to wait a bit for Rafael's answer about maintainership change, and for confirmation on the new libwin32 list about my proposed new Win32::Process functions and version bump. perl-win32-gui and perl-win32-api will be the next. New clamav and postgresql versions are also pending. Still some problems there (upstream and here). -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
