I just installed it on the DJGPP system here, and info tells me nothing. The man pages are impossible, even after being excruciatingly slow. Perl --help is not extremely illuminating either. So I need to know where that upper left corner is on which I can nibble. There must be something that came out of that 6 megabyte perl561b.zip of immediate use. -- Chuck F (cbfalconer AT yahoo DOT com) (cbfalconer AT worldnet DOT att DOT net) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems.
