I have been trying to compile up Win32::API perl module under Cygwin's
perl.
The latest version off CPAN doesn't build (see below).

http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/software/perl/Win32-API-0.42.tar.gz
just the new-style win32 callbacks do not work that way with gcc.
old style it worked, but backporting seemed to much effort for me.
I have found some refernces to patches people have applied to get it
working in the past. In particular Win32:API version 0.20.
http://anfaenger.de/cygwin/libwin32/Win32-API-0.20cygwin/
But I was unable to get that working either, maybe because the
Cygwin.dll and/or Perl (v5.8.2) has moved on since that patch was done?
I was wondering if anyone has got it working for themselves?
If not, I'd really appreciate someone taking a look. I am happy to do
some of my own dirty work, but I have little knowledge of the Cygwin.dll
so I really struggle to know where to look. I gather Win32::API is
relying on a hook that the Cygwin.dll is not providing?
All I really need this for is to call a procedure in a DLL, that does
some port IO for me. At the moment my work around is to use Active State
perl, for which Win32::API does build, but it would be better to only
have one version of Perl around.
