+NOTES ON BUILDING TLPERL 2011
+
+BUILD PLATFORM
+
+32-bits Windows XP Professional SP3 running under VirtualBox on
+Linux. The user is no administrator.
+
+GETTING THE PERL SOURCE
+
+I downloaded from CPAN: the latest stable Perl source 5.12.3
+
+COLLECTING A NATIVE BUILD ENVIRONMENT
+
+I found in the root of the distribution a file README.win32
+containing compilation instructions, which listed both the older
+mingw32 from mingw.org and the newer mingw64 from mingw-w64.sf.net
+as possible compilers.
+
+I downloaded and ran the automated downloader/installer
+x86-mingw32-build-1.0-sh.tar.bz2. I selected gcc, g++ and, probably
+unnecessarily, the MinGW developer toolkit. I skipped Fortran, Ada
+and Objective C. I added the mingw32 bin subdirectory to the
+searchpath.
+
+Based on the same README.win32 from the Perl source, I downloaded
+dmake-4.12-2009-SHAY.zip from
+http://search.cpan.org/dist/dmake. Following the file readme.txt in
+the root of this archive, I created a directory dmake somewhere and
+copied to it the file dmake.exe and the entire startup
+subdirectory. I also added the dmake directory to the searchpath.
+
+BUILDING
+
+I went to the win32 subdirectory of the Perl source. In makefile.mk I
+edited CCHOME to point to the root of my mingw installation:
+
+  CCHOME *= X:\mingw32
+
+and uncommented the lines
+
+  GCC_4XX		*= define
+  GCCHELPERDLL	*= $(CCHOME)\bin\libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
+
+Then I typed
+
+  dmake
+
+and
+
+  dmake install
+
+These actions did not change the searchpath. If dmake tried to do so
+and failed then I missed it. No other symptoms of system integration
+either.
+
+However, there were hard-coded paths in lib/Config.pm and
+lib/Config_heavy.pl, which were likely to cause problems.
+
+I edited lib/Config.pm and lib/Config_heavy.pl to compute Perl's
+location dynamically. To both I add the code
+
+  my $rootdir = __FILE__;
+  $rootdir =~ s![\\/][^\\/]*[\\/][^\\/]*$!!;
+  $rootdir =~ s!/!\\!g;
+
+and used this in Config.pm for the definition of %Config, taking care
+to replace single-quoted strings with double-quoted ones and
+escaping backslashes where necessary.
+
+Config_heavy.pl got a similar treatment: in single-quoted
+here-documents with markers !END! (very long) and EOVIRTUAL I
+replaced the hard-coded Perl paths. Because the $rootdir variable
+needed to be interpolated, I shifted from single- to double-quoting,
+which required escaping backslashes, existing dollar characters
+(e.g. in 'Id=$Id') and an `@'. No need to escape single- or double
+quotes.
+
+I left the hard-coded paths for the mingw compiler alone.
+
+The original versions are still present under the names Config.pmold
+and Config_heavy.plold. Diffs are here.
+
+To verify relocatability, I moved the tree elsewhere and added the
+bin directory of the new location to my searchpath.
+
+Next some Windows-specific modules and Tk. I downloaded from CPAN:
+
+Win32-API-0.59.tar.gz
+Win32-Shortcut-0.07.tar.gz
+Win32API-Registry-0.32.tar.gz
+Win32-TieRegistry-0.26.tar.gz
+Tk-804.029.tar.gz
+
+and also, because of use- and require statements in TeX Live
+third-party scripts:
+
+Digest-SHA1-2.13.tar.gz
+File-Which-1.09.tar.gz
+
+They were all configured, compiled and installed with
+
+  perl Makefile.PL
+  dmake
+  dmake install
+
+MODIFICATIONS FOR TEXLIVE
+
+- lib/Config.pm and lib/Config_heavy.pl now compute the location of
+  tlperl dynamically; see above.
+- The html directory has been removed.
+- The site/lib subdirectory is folded into lib.
+- The bin subdirectory now only contains exe- and dll files.
+  Batch files and Perl scripts have been removed.
+- Copied from mingw/bin to tlperl/bin:
+  libgcc_s_dw2_1.dll and libstdc++-6.dll.
+
+TESTING WITH TEXLIVE
+
+For testing the new Perl with the installer, I did an advanced
+installation from the Master repository with the old tlperl replaced
+with the new one. The Master repository is on a network share. I
+selected scheme basic without source/doc but with format
+generation. A lot of complaints about missing Perl files (to be
+expected) but otherwise uneventful.
+
+For testing the new Perl with the installed TeX Live, I copied it
+into the fresh installation.
+
+tlmgr appeared to work as intended, both from the command-line and in
+gui mode, except that quitting took up to 20 seconds, but this does
+not seem to be specific to this Perl.
+
+I also successfully ran epstopdf, updmap-sys and the uninstaller.
