Comment(by ronaldws):
I seemed to get the whole test file to run in it's entirety on Win32 with
pcre and good bit of work.
I had trouble getting parrot to recognize my installation of the pcre7.0
win32 binary so I put in a brand new installation of mingw and msys and
used that to install pcre8.10 from source. I work with ActiveState Perl
and mingw on Vista. "make install" for the pcre installation seemed to
put the pcre files in c:\MinGW\msys\1.0\local\{bin,lib,...etc...} so I
just copied those files into the corresponding c:\MinGW directories. Since
prove -v t\library\pcre.t still didn't find the pcre library a few days of
hacking around followed. Eventually I stumbled on the idea of copying a
'dll' file named c:\MinGW\bin\libpre-0.dll to c:\MinGW\bin\pcre3.dll and
the test started to run. Better than that I removed all the todo
references in test 2 and both tests still passed.
I am still working on the area but thought this experience might be of
help to someone.
