Re: [perl #41243] [TODO] Link on Win32 with Borland C++

I'll pick up borland and play with it, although I won't get to it
until the next cycle. I've got a really old version of Turbo C++ 4.52
left over from school, and free versions of Turbo C++ Explorer are
available for download. I don't promise any miracles, but at least I
will be able to prove that some errors still exist or not.
