This is a DOS/DJGPP port of Perl 5.005_02

Installation
------------

   - Unzip the binary package perl552b.zip preserving the directory
     structure (-d switch to PKUNZIP) from the top DJGPP directory.
     If you want to use perl with long file names (win0.95), then use a LFN
     aware unzip and add

              set LFN=y

     to your autoexec.bat or DJGPP.ENV.

   - Edit lib/perl5/Config.pm, and replace every 'c:/djgpp' with your
     DJGPP root directory. This can be done with perl too:
   
            perl -i~ -pe "s!c:/djgpp!x:/djroot!i" lib/perl5/Config.pm
                                     ^^^^^^^^^
                        Substitute this with your DJGPP root directory!

   - This version of perl searches its library files in '../lib/perl5/',
     which is relative to the path of perl.exe. If you don't like this,
     you can use the PERL5LIB environment variable to tell perl where 
     the library is. E.g:
     
              set PERL5LIB=c:/perl/lib
              
     Warning: if you set PERL5LIB and use tainting checks (-T command line 
     option), perl ignores PERL5LIB, so you must use the -I command line
     switch or the "use lib '...'"  construct. Or you can patch perl.exe :)

   - Perl works best with a unixy shell, so you may want to download and
     install bash (bshXXXXb.zip from the usual DJGPP sites). After installing
     it make the 'SHELL' environment variable point to your bash.exe.
     Finally create a `link' to your bash.exe in your %DJDIR%/bin directory:

              ln -s bash.exe sh.exe
     or
              stubify -g sh.exe
              stubedit sh.exe runfile=bash

   - The documentation is in lib/perl5/pod. You can read the .pod files
     with any editor, or you can use the `perldoc' utility. For more info:

              perl -S perldoc -h

     It tries to use less.exe or more.com, but you can set your pager with:
     
              SET PAGER=path_of_your_favourite_pager
