I remember you posting about this project - and thinking at the time "naaah ... I'm not going anywhere near this".
It was part of some cruel extreme (armchair) sports challenge, right?
:-)
I used

Was the above all part of a single download ? If so, from where ?
Presumably you didn't use msys or bash (because you built in command.com) and you didn't use make (because you used dmake). Obviously you used gcc - where did you get it from (if it was obtained separately)?
to build [EMAIL PROTECTED] (?), ie the latest perl yesterday with dmake on Chinese Windows98 in a command.com shell.
The latest perl from CPAN ? - which would be 5.8.1 ? And what does your 'perl -V' output look like ?
Only the Encode module was a problem, producing a divide overflow error.
Did you get that sorted out ? (Just curious.)
However, on another Japanese Windows 98 Thinkpad I am having no succcess producing any perl executable at all with any Mingw combination.
Did you at any stage try building with dmake and gcc-2.95.2 (from the link given in Readme.win32) ? I'm not sure if that's supposed to work in a command.com shell. That particular site seems not to have a more recent version of gcc - at least I couldn't find one there.
Also, if you were using cpan source, did you give AS source a try ?
I've a notion that can make a difference (especially wrt 5.8), but I don't really know.
If you don't want to answer any/all of those questions, that's cool - simply ignore :-)
Nice work !!
Cheers, Rob
