I've successfully gotten Postgres working on a cygwin port,
and am now trying to get PL/Perl to work as well.

(PL/Perl is a plugin to the Postgres Database which allows
one to create functions within the RDBMS written in Perl)

Here are the specs:
Windows NT Workstation, 4.0 (S.P. 6a)
Cygwin DLL v. 1.1.4(0.2632)
Postgres 7.02
Perl 5.6.0
CygIPC 1.07-1

I followed the instructions for installing Postgres at this url:
http://people.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html

And I used the binary perl distribution from here:
http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/perl-5.6.0/index.html
(When trying to configure the sources i get an "Invalid DLL
Entrypoint" popup error msg from "fred.exe," to wit:
"The dynamic link library C:\cygwin\tmp\perl-5.6.0\UU\dyna.dll is not
written correctly. The stack pointer has been left in an inconsistent
state. The entrypoint should be declared as WINAPI or STDCALL. Select
YES to fail the DLL load. Select NO to continue execution. Selecting
NO may cause the application to operate incorrectly."
When I answer NO to the dialog, I get a response from the Configure program
that "Perhaps you should not use dynamic loading.", which evidently is necessary
for PL/Perl.)

I created symlinks to the perl dll:
$ cd /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/cygwin/CORE
$ ln -s libperl5_6_0.dll libperl.dll
(... ditto for libperl.a and libperl.def...)
$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ ln -s libperl5_6_0.dll libperl.dll

Anyway, when I goto $POSTGRES_SRC/src/pl/plperl and run
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/cygwin/CORE:/usr/local/bin \
perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/cygwin/CORE:/usr/local/bin \
make
I get the messages appended at the end of the email. I'm having trouble deciphering
these messages and determining whether this is a "Cygwin" issue or a "PLPerl" issue.

My questions:
* Is this a problem with cygwin's ld2 or dllwrap? or is it a problem where the perl distro
i am using didn't have an "export definition file" with it? or ???
* What can I do to fix it :)

Thanks!!!
