(I meant to be referring to http://perl.apache.org/dist/win32-bin/ in the above.) Is anyone with access to that site willing to move the old 5.8 binaries into an archive folder and put the new apxs_win32-0.7 in place? I would do it myself but I'm not aware of having acces to the machine so I will have to leave it up to other devs... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@perl.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@perl.apache.org
