Hallo, I have uploaded the perl-5.8.1 release candidate 4.
This version is configured with threads (multiplicity is implied then), with all available 64bit features and of course with perlio, all linked against cygwin-1.5.1. I don't want it to spread worldwide over the mirrors since a 5.8.1 release will be out very soon and I want also to wait for the 1.5.2 Cygwin DLL. There seems also to be a bug in the threads part of perl which causes two tests to crash, not investigated yet. But for everyone who is interested (i.e. Nicholas and other Win98 users) you may fetch the release candidate here as source or binary package: Sources, 9280 KB: http://anfaenger.de/cygwin-1.5/perl/perl-5.8.1-RC4-1-src.tar.bz2 Manpages, 2016 KB: http://anfaenger.de/cygwin-1.5/perl/perl_manpages-5.8.1-RC4-1.tar.bz2 Binaries, 6775 KB: http://anfaenger.de/cygwin-1.5/perl/perl-5.8.1-RC4-1.tar.bz2 Have fun, Gerrit -- =^..^=
