FWIW
With Cygwin the perl made makefile doesn't work for me 

BUT !!

I just tried a few of the tricks that I used to make the Python mapscript
and I can make a mapscript.dll but I have no idea how to install it
so that Perl will recognize mapscript.  

I tried creating and populating several direcrtories like
$PERL5 / site / perl / 5.6.1 / cygwin-multi / mapscript
puting mapscript.pm and mapscript.dll in them
however nothing seemed to work, but then again I know nothing
about Perl and how to set it up.

So if someone can tell me where and how to install the mapscript
modules so that Perl can pick them up and if this works, I should
be able to create a 'generic' Makefile for a Cygwin mapscript Perl

Cheers

Norman
