    Thanks for taking the time to try it out, and also for the feedback.
    I'll update that Issue 29 that you've created with improved information later today.

    I think it must be something in my environment that's screwing things up ... or perhaps even this Windows 7 OS itself:
    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
    In itself, it's not much of a problem if you're just building perl once.
    But it does become quite a nuisance if you're building a number of perls with different configurations and/or with different versions of gcc.

    Cheers,

      Thanks.
