There is a problem in the PCRE 8.02 `configure' script but I was able to run it in one iteration and then create the makefiles by running the `config.status' script after manual editing. It builds cleanly but four of five tests fail. The one line of code in the script that has to be fixed manually is to assign `\r' instead of the null string to `ac_cr' . I have 2.04 beta with all updates on Windows SP SP3. My external Perl is AS ActivePerl version 1007. -- Allan
