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?
