Hi Dave,

Thank you, it works!
I was rather surprised at the fact that autoconf depends on perl...
I knew that automake is a perl script, but I didn't know that autoconf
is also dependent on perl.
Is it possible to provide some tentative solutions for cygwin distributions
of automake/autoconf packages, e.g. inserting "PERLIO=stdio; export PERLIO"
to the automake/autoconf scripts? Because many modern editors treat CRs
transparently, it is getting more difficult and time-wasting to notice
CRs as the source of troubles.
Anyway, thank you very much for your quick help!
