So I went through the perl readme on github. And I wanted to do this over from scratch. In the Readme file I started at

Building a 64-bit Dynamic EBCDID Perl

On my windows desktop I installed Git.

Went into Git Bash

Did the git clone of perl

Changed directory to perl

I had to set the PERL5LIB path
%ENV:
PERL5LIB="/c/perl/cpan/Extutils-Manifest/lib:/c/greene/perl"
@INC:
/c/perl/cpan/Extutils-Manifest/lib
/c/perl
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/share/perl5/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/lib/perl5/core_perl
/usr/share/perl5/core_perl

The first path was for the Manifest.pm which allowed me to run the Porting/makerel -e

I am not sure what other paths I need because I get the following from the Porting.

$ Porting/makerel -e
#define PERL_REVISION 5 /* age */
#define PERL_VERSION 35 /* epoch */
#define PERL_SUBVERSION 11 /* generation */
#define PERL_API_REVISION 5
#define PERL_API_VERSION 35
#define PERL_API_SUBVERSION 11
#define __PATCHLEVEL_H_INCLUDED__
# define PERL_PATCHNUM "UNKNOWN-miniperl"
# define PERL_GIT_UNPUSHED_COMMITS /*leave-this-comment*/

# define PERL_PATCHNUM "UNKNOWN-microperl"
# define PERL_GIT_UNPUSHED_COMMITS /*leave-this-comment*/
# define LOCAL_PATCH_COUNT \
#define PATCHLEVEL PERL_VERSION
#define SUBVERSION PERL_SUBVERSION

Making a release for perl-5.35.11 in ../perl-5.35.11

Cross-checking the MANIFEST...

Creating ../perl-5.35.11 release directory...

Copying files to release directory...
sh: cpio: command not found
awk '{print $1}' MANIFEST | cpio -pdm ../perl-5.35.11 failed at Porting/makerel
line 125.

I’m learning a ton but just don’t know enough.
