I installed Win32-GUI-1.03_04/ into Activestate Perl using the installation

install Win32-GUI-1.03_04/ into a cygwin environment other than a direct copy
from folder to folder. This would be OK but the folder architecture is
different and I don't know how to handle the differences.
In particular:
No: Makefile.PL
No: ./perl-Win32-GUI-X.XX-X.sh (1.03_XX)
and when the downloaded zip file is expanded,
No: /usr/src/perl-Win32-GUI-X.XX-X.tar.bz2 (1.03_04)
/usr/src/perl-Win32-GUI-X.XX-X-src.tar.bz2 (1.03_04)
Just a lot of "no, no's". <sigh>.
So, with some Gloom and Doom, what did I misunderstand?

Obviously your Win32-GUI-1.03_04 package is a shrink-wrapped version.
The standard cygwin package is installed via setup.exe, src also.
Building from this src is reproducible as with every other cygwin package.
The rest is the same as with every other perl package installation:
cpan Win32::GUI
or download the sources and:
perl Makefile.PL && make && make test install
Building from cvs is also ok. There's only the minor reported problem
with the demos target:
cp samples/* blib/lib/Win32/GUI/demos
cp: omitting directory `samples/CVS'
Oh, the advantage of Cygwin is that this is the environment in which I prefer
to work because of shell scripting and etc. Being Really, Really old it may be
impossible to retrain me to work in the DOS Shell environment, and just simply
changing the PATH variable to reference c/Perl/bin before '/' seems just too
easy. <sigh>. Don't get Really, Really, old and dogmatic.
