Greetings.
I just installed the great perl-5.8-win32-bin.tar.gz package that Randy
Kobes mantains on uwinnipeg.
Two folders are missing from site/lib/Win32Api :
Registry/cRegistry.pc
File/cFile.pc
This is an installation bug of libwin32 - the files are generated but not
installed, so they must be manually moved to their intended destinations (I
was bit by the same thing and mailed the package maintainer about a month
ago). These are not binary files, so they can(?) be copied from
a same version installation of win32 (I used what I had on a 5.6.1-33 and
they appear to work fine).
Not quite in the bug category, I observed that the shipped version of
File::Basename::fileparse now croaks on calling fileparse(undef). This seems
a bit radical to me (given that fileparse('') just shuts up) - carp would be
fair, but croak seems pretty darn inhospitable to me...
Just my .02 &
Cheers,
alf
