     THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE!  I haven't tested much of Perl 5, although
     the perl.exe binary does pass most of the regression tests.  Those
     that do not pass are mostly attributable to differences between
     MSDOS and Unix.  In particular, quoted Unix command lines (e.g.,
     './perl -e "print \"foo\n\""') are often the cause of regression
     test failure.

     This is a 32-bit port of Perl 5.000 to MSDOS and Windows.  See the
files "msdos32/readme.dos" and "win32/readme.win".  Note that the 32-bit
Windows binary is included mainly as a "proof-of-concept" example, and
is (currently) not very useful.
