I got a complete 5.6.1 build done tonight. I want to try to get problems with InstallBLIB worked out, and update config.h some more, and do a release tomorrow night.
The more I do, the longer the road looks. There are a lot of little bugs that are popping up. It seems like aside from the core of perl, many things are just not working properly. Toolbox modules, STDIN ... I did do some successful tests with Socket, which is good. :-)
