in reply to miniperl larger than perl?

perl, 60k? That ain't right... On my Linux, perl is close to 800k.

The DLL on Windows is around 600k. perl.exe is nothing but a bootstrapper which loads the DLL... Are you sure this isn't something similar you're looking at here?

    Sure it is, but both my miniperl and the usual one were using the very same DLLs, yet the miniperl bootstrapper was larger.
