Thanks for the reply.  I had installed (and redownloaded & reinstalled - x
many :) the contents of:

     -rw-r--r--   1 REC      root      4397999 Sep 11 23:13 perl561b.zip

which installs a perl.exe that reports:

   > perl --version
   This is perl, v5.6.1 built for dos-djgpp
   . . . . .

After the installation (including the README.1st instructions :) there is a
'strict.pm' file located as follows:

   > find /djgpp -iname 'strict*'
   /djgpp/lib/perl5/strict.pm

   > vdir /djgpp/lib/perl5/strict.pm
   -rw-r--r--   1 REC      root         2624 Apr 16 17:30
/djgpp/lib/perl5/strict.pm

FWIW, aclocal appears to work.

   > aclocal --version
   aclocal (GNU automake) 1.5
   . . . .
