This has been a troublesome beast to build on Win32 for perl-5.10.0.

But, after some minor patching ( 
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36614 ) I managed to build it 
on ActivePerl 1004 (perl -5.10.0). I'll send it over to Randy Kobes, and it 
will probably appear on the uwinnipeg 5.10 rep in the next few days 
(depending upon how busy Randy is with other stuff).

In the meantime, Michael, let me know if you would like me to email the ppm 
over to you, off list. (It's a bit less than 700kb.)

It was a very strange thing to build. On many of my perl builds I get a 
fatal error of the type:

-------------------------------------------------
C:\_32\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: 
C:\_32\mingw\lib\libkernel32.a(duces00221.o): illegal symbol index 
1818586738 in relocs
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
dmake:  Error code 129, while making 'blib\arch\auto\Net\SSH2\SSH2.dll'
-------------------------------------------------

The name of the object file quoted in the message can change from one perl 
build to the next - but the error is otherwise identical. I have no idea 
what it means. One would suspect that it's the compiler (or libkernel32.a) 
that's at fault, but the very same compiler builds the very same source just 
fine on ActivePerl 1004. Beats me !!!

Cheers,
Rob
