This is very strange. I've no idea what causes this unfortunately :(

If you want to build perl, I'd suggest trying perl 5.6.0 out. Grab the
source from CPAN, and read README.dos. It should build out-of-the-box.
I'll upload a djgpp compiled version of perl 5.6.1 (which will be
released soon) to the simtelnet.
