You are lucky. I tried to build perl on win95 twice. There was no
problem at first, but I got a GPF next time. At that point I had no
idea, because everything in my environment were the same. So I suspected
a win95 "feature" or a problem with the computer, and decided to
distribute a config.sh file. 

BTW, which version of bash did you use? I used bashb9 with the nesting
bug patch.
