Hi Tim!

I was wondering what config.sh and Policy.SH you used, to build the binaries
of Perl 5.6.1. I'd like to do an updated release, to fix the inconsistency in
the handling of environment variable names (sometimes case-sensitive, other
times not).

(I've CC'd djgpp-workers, so that the files get archived for posterity.)

I reported the problem originally in a message on 16th October 2002 entitled
"RESEND: Problems with handling of %ENV in Perl":

"The DJGPP port of perl seems to captilise all environment variable names.
Unfortunately all accesses to the environment via %ENV are not treated
the same way."

I included a fix with that message.

Bye, Rich =]
