prerequisites for a module before you can build the module.) Can you
make that script available to me?
I have built all modules for testing perl-5.24, but not saved them away
at the time. There were no changes needed to the cygport files, so you
could use those from the source packages or you'll let me know what
modules you need and I can package up the cygport and any patches for
those.
I'm happy to get them from the source packages. But I was asking how to
manage build prerequisites. For example, perl-Data-Compare depends on
perl-File-Find-Rule. So I have to build and install the latter before I
can build the former. How do you handle this? I was assuming that you
had written a script that helps with this.

I don't think so, but I'll let you know.
Note that perl-5.26-RC1 is out now. I'm currently waiting for RC2
(there were a few things not quite right in RC1) and if that's OK on
Cygwin I'll most likely skip releasing perl-5.24.
Sounds good.
