I quote the following - but I don't get it:

Why can't we redistribute Microsoft's Win32 headers?
Subsection 2.d.f of the `Microsoft Open Tools License agreement' looks
like it says that one may not "permit further redistribution of the
Redistributables to their end users". We take this to mean that we can
give them to you, but you can't give them to anyone else, which is
something that Cygnus (err... Red Hat) can't agree to. Fortunately, we
have our own Win32 headers which are pretty complete.

this may have nothing to do with what my problem is.

So in the original mail:

>That's "win32.h", not <win32.h>.  There's a file in
><perl-src>/win32/win32.h, which is probably copied up to the toplevel
>during a win32-native configure. (I'm just guessing here)


I did not download the source for perl is this what is holding me up? If I
download it, what would be the top level dir? /usr/include/ or <perl-src>?
