I stand (sit?) corrected, Simon.  However, since I try to give windoze a
wide berth (unless gun is pointed at my head), I tend to forget such things.
This is also true (about the Window Binary) for Perl for Windows.
Difference there, though, is the binary has cost attached to it.  The source
is Open Source.

Best,

Mike
