How were you able to get Perl 5.32.0 on Cygwin? I don't know how ~~leonerd~~ kcott obtained it, but it built pretty easily for me from source. (Yes, that surprised me, too !) IIRC, I ran: `./Configure -des -Dprefix=/your/preferred/location make make test (might fail a test or two ... can't remember that part) make install` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

"How were you able to get Perl 5.32.0 on Cygwin?" Short answer: I used Perlbrew. Detailed answer: "Re: Perl on Windows 10". That actually got me 5.30.0 (at that time, Cygwin had 5.26.3). I don't remember the exact details of how I upgraded that to 5.32.0, but it was probably just: `perlbrew install perl-5.32.0` [download] So now I have: `$ perl -v \| head -2 \| tail -1 This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 0 (v5.32.0) built for cygwin-th +read-multi` [download] You may also be interested in "App::perlbrew - Compiling Perl with thread support". It's possibly somewhat dated: I wrote it in 2012 and added an update in 2014. I didn't need to do anything special to get thread support this time around on Cygwin: I don't know if defaults have changed or this was platform-related (I was using Mac OS X back then). — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]
