in thread perl 5.14.0-RC1 is available for testing!

Not sure about the value of the other changes - it's not a lot to ask of a user that he ticks a "yes I'm using gcc-4" box. I guess it's ok so long as the auto-detection of version 4 is always going to work correctly. Feel free to present that idea to p5p as well.

There are no other changes ( unless you want indentmk - dmake makefile indenter ) all GCC4_XXX stuff is deleted, and test-prep is now

test-prep : all utils ..\pod\perltoc.pod $(XCOPY) $(PERLEXE) ..\t\$(NULL) $(XCOPY) $(PERLDLL) ..\t\$(NULL) .IF "$(CCTYPE)" == "BORLAND" $(XCOPY) $(GLOBBAT) ..\t\$(NULL) .ELSE $(XCOPY) $(GLOBEXE) ..\t\$(NULL) .ENDIF .IF "$(CCTYPE)" == "GCC" # If building with gcc-4.x.x (or x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.x.x), then # op/taint.t will fail without one+ of these files. $(XCOPY) $(CCHOME)\bin\*dll ..\t\$(NULL) .ENDIF

note, dmake wants tab prefixes, not spaces :)

I'd personally be quite happy to present the idea of using your revised xcopy command. But then *you* miss out on all the glory :-)

Go right ahead, all your glory are belong to Anonymous :)

    Ok ... once 5.14 is out of the way, I'll see what they've got to say.
