My offer: I'll build a debugging version of perl today and provide a link to fetch the package, so every Win98 user (Nicholas, Pierre, Johann?) who is interested may fetch it then. Unfortunately I have no box with Win98 available. Does the debugger need the build tree with objects or is it enough to install the source tree alongside the binaries?
