The compilation of perl 5.8.7 for Win32 using BCC 5.5.1 fails with the
following error:
...
ilink32 -Tpe -ap
-L"c:\apps\win\perl\5.8.7\lib\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\CORE"
-L"C:\apps\win\borland\bcc55\lib" -Gn \

dmake.exe: Error code 2, while making '..\miniperl.exe'
Workaround:
Replace the file win32sck.c with the version from Perl 5.8.5
Remark:
Compiling with VC does not cause any problems with the new version of
win32sck.c.
Best regards,
Werner Bochtler
