I personally think this was an *excellent* idea. It certainly works for me, 
too.

I had run:

-------------------------
Rob AT desktop2 ~/comp/Inline-CPP-0.25
$ perl -V:ld
ld='ld2';
-------------------------

and wondered about that. You're suggested amendment (apart from fixing the 
problem) is also in keeping with my "native" (MinGW) build of Windows perl 
5.8 which reports:

--------------------------
C:\>perl -V:ld
ld='g++';
--------------------------

Dammit ... I should've known ... I've struck similar problems with MinGW 
builds of perl that want to set 'ld' to 'gcc' instead of 'g++'.

So ... it *is* a Cygwin Perl bug after all ? (That's a question, not an 
assertion :-)

Thanks Paul.

Cheers,
Rob
