Hi Randy,

It looks like the -L/foo/perl/CORE and -lperl arguments are the only 
differences here, right?  I'm curious about something - on my system 
(darwin), $Config{shrpenv} is defined as 'env 
LD_RUN_PATH=/sw/lib/perl5/5.6.1/darwin/CORE', and that ends up in the 
@shrp variable.

On your cygwin, is $Config{shrpenv} empty, or not having any effect, or 
what?

I think in general this is a case of Config.pm being a micro-manager.  
It's not describing what it wants done, it's describing how to do it.  
That's making our job of interface-writing sort of hard to do.
