Excellent !!
I'll try this out as soon as I get a chance.

Is the dbm/gdbm/ndbm stuff critical to the build of a -Duse64bitint perl ?
(I'll probably wait until 5.16.0 is released, whereupon I intend to try 
building such a perl myself, using the mingw.org compiler (gcc-4.5.2). It 
doesn't have any of  the dbm/gdbm/ndbm stuff, afaik.)

Cheers,
Rob
