RE: problem extending perl-5.8.2-1 via CPAN: Storable.dll

["Rafael Kitover" <caelum at debian dot org>]

This is an issue related to rebasing DLLs.

There's a "rebaseall" utility in Cygwin to fix this, unfortunately it does not
pick up non-package DLLs, including Perl extensions installed from CPAN shell.
I've made some changes to that script so that it does...which reminds me I need
to send out a patch, or something. Anyway, my "rebaseall" script is attached.
To run it, close any all Cygwin processes, open a bash shell, and run it.

HTH
