Re^4: Compile PERL from source on Windows

Hello... thanks for the reply!

My perldelta.pod is not empty.

In my either my extracted perldelta.pod and the manifest (http://search.cpan.org/src/RJBS/perl-5.16.3/pod/perldelta.pod). The files are the same. I do not see an entry which says:

perldelta - what is new for perl v5.16.3
[download]

Rather, that line is found on the description page for that file.

pod_lib.pl and the manifest (http://search.cpan.org/src/RJBS/perl-5.16.3/Porting/pod_lib.pl) are the same too.

That worked!!! That fixed the problem with pod_lib.pl. nmake test throws a fatal error on nmake test though. Here's where we start getting into my lack of experience though. I don't know what to do with these tests.
