Don't know whether this has been solved yet, but I did find the cause
for this.
The problem described by Peter originates from
ExtUtils::MM_Unix::find_perl.
and can fixed by making the SHELL environment variable point to a unixy
shell
instead of command.com. e.g. in djgpp.env +SHELL=%DJDIR%/bin/sh.exe or
in bash export SHELL=/bin/sh.exe

Today I succeeded in building perl 5.6.1 from perl561s.zip
and it passes all tests. Is anyone already working on a binary
distribution of perl 5.6.1 for djgpp?
