1) copying this file right behind the 'rsync' of perl-current.
patch applies,
build fails.

the 'tar cfz' of perl-current is named perl-5.10.0.tar.gz
PANIC! perl-current-`date +..`.tgz may be ok
why not using the stable tgz from cpan?
current will not achieve a consistent build over time.


2) copying the cygwin.c after stage_prep thus making the patch unseen.
//a interpretation of 'using the official'
fails.

3) using the original tarball http://cpan.org/src/perl-5.10.0.tar.gz
d2c39b002ebfd2c3c5dba589365c5a71, not using cygwin.c

build: pkg_ver=perl-5.10.0

shows the -O2 by itself
but hangs in fork-test.
(melting down my laptop *g*)


4) same as 3) but cp of cygwin.c to perl-5.10.0/cygwin/cygwin.c
rigth behing tar xfz...
fails at cygwin.c.


giving up.
at least for today.

ohjeh.. perl 5.8.8 is yellow for cygwin.
there seems to be no interest at all for the moment.




kind regards
Wolfgang

btw: activestate + tk is running the 'widget' application.
