The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 0.14 - 1998-11-14

  • Support for building with mingw32/GCC from Nick Ing-Simmons. Building many of the extensions is skipped, since the mingw32 libraries don't yet support all of the Win32 API.
  • Memory leaks fixed in PerfLib (thanks to Artur Silveira da Cunha).
  • EventLog now returns 'User' and 'Message' fields (thanks to Martin Pauley).
  • Other minor bugfixes.
