I have a few patches to the Perl 5.8.0 tarball. It would be good if they could
be incorporated into Perl 5.8.1, so it works better out-of-the-box. Should I
send these patches to you or directly to the Perl maintainers?

Are you still actively maintaining DJGPP support in the Perl development
versions? (It doesn't sound like it to me, but perhaps you are.)

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
