This directory contains a subset of the Perl 5.8.8 distribution
for Windows.  The only purpose of this package is to support programs
shipped with TeX Live.  It's not intended for general use. 

The executable files were compiled by Siep Kroonenberg with MinGW.

Changes:

 * The documentation and many modules have been removed.

 * Some Windows specific modules have been added.

This version of Perl will not be installed on your system and will not
interfere with other versions of Perl which might be installed already.

If you need Perl for any other purpose than running the programs
provided by TeX Live, we recommand to install the full version which
can be downloaded from:

   http://www.perl.org
