I had an IsWinNT is undefined error message 2 days ago, but I removed some
old-seeming directories (since I have 5.8.6 installed, I thought I'd
try deleting older versioned directories, though I have no 5.8.6
directories and most of the perl-lib files I had installed were under
/lib/perl5/5.8.5 which seems odd -- I would have thought installing a
newer perl would have installed lib files in 5.8.6...(?)

The error/build messages I am seeing now are:

cpan> install Win32
Running install for module Win32
Running make for G/GS/GSAR/libwin32-0.191.zip

=========

I don't know which error/warning messages are abnormal, starting with:

1) 'INSTALLSITESEARCH' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
   'SITE_PREFIX' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

2) Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: ':nosearch'
   Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: 'wininet.lib'

3) Processing hints file hints/cygwin.pl

   Note (probably harmless): No library found for -luuid

### these are all libs I see in /usr/lib/w32api as "lib<libname>.a"

4) Warning: prerequisite Win32API::Registry 0 not found.

### This appears to be a bug in the Makefile, line 704 has a target,
### but the build-line on line 705 isn't tab-indented, it's space indented
### which would seem to be a problem in the source that builds the Makefile
