Thanks for the tests.  Which perldl.conf options did you
try: all defaults (if so, which modules got selected to
build out of the "let perl decide" ones?).

I don't know the protocol here.  I do know that when
I was trying to make a mini-CPAN to test the cpan
shell install with the cygwin code I had to change
the module version to N.M.P in order for CPAN to
accept the submission.

My goal for this testing is a sanity check on the existing
cvs code to:

- test build/install for supported OSes
- make sure there are no surprise show-stopper bugs
- confirm fixed/not-fixed status from outstanding bug list
- update Known_problems with status from above testing

I figure I'll give a week for this testing and plan for
the final 2.4.3 release distribution next weekend.  At
that point, we can put the distribution up on SF and
propagate to CPAN.

Bugs detected after that point can be resolved in a quick
2.4.4 patch release if needed.  Otherwise, we'll let the
release stand and get back to cvs development.

Thanks again,
