Remarkably, the only reason im able to write this post (im at work) is because I decided to compile Perl with -DDEBGGING (but to add a debug switch to see whats happening with parsing and creating arguments in win32.c, yes i know -Dp does it, the yydebug was getting on my nerves...) and in a fit of stupidity deleted the win32/include directory :(

So maybe once I've finished Ill take a look...

Incidentally (re)learning c from perls source code is proving to be an interesting exercise. ;-)
