I just want a DOS or Win32 compiled PERL 5. Quick fix: will someone send me a compiled copy of PERL 5 for DOS or Win32? I'm happy with my standard DOS. I don't want 4DOS, and don't care much about C compilers or the PERL source code. Now that I have that off my chest let me continue with my problem/headache. I have the C source for PERL 5 something another. It claims to be compilable on any one of several C compilers. Borland C++ 5.01, Mingw32 EGCS, and a few others. TC 2.01 isn't one of them BUT... I did download EGCS about the same time I downloaded the PERL source. I tried to install it but who knows.... Let's assume that I manage to get EGCS installed properly and it works. The next hurdle is that it can't be compiled under the DOS that comes with Win95. I can think of a few choice words for this flaw. It will however compile under 4DOS. Once compiled it is suppose to work fine under the 4DOS as well as the DOS that comes with Win95. If I, regretfully, install 4DOS will it be easy to uninstall or will I have to beat either my computer or myself to death? An overly annoyed, Lucius L.
