swig Perl bindings for Windows

["Burgess, Glenn" <Gl...@dsto.defence.gov.au>]

Originally posted to users, but no reply -- perhaps I need a real developer. ;-)
 
This is a newbie question I guess, but what exactly do I have to do to get the Perl bindings for svn on my WinXP box?
 
I don't have Dev Studio so I can't compile that way. Has anybody had success compiling svn using Cygwin (and how much tweaking was involved)?
Is compiling actually necessary, or can I just do something like "make swig-pl" in the appropriate source directory while? 
 
Alternatively, is some kind soul able to make an executable, installation or patch available for download that contains the Perl swig bindings, in the same way that the Python bindings are available?
 
I'm trying to build svk.
 
Thanks,
Glenn.

To my knowledge nobody has successfully gotten the perl bindings working
on Windows.  If someone wants to get on #svn on irc.freenode.net, I'll
be happy to work with you to get them to build and work for you.  But
it's probably going to require some fixes to be made.

Several people have said they wanted to do it.  Nobody has followed
through.  But I don't use Windows so I can't/won't do it on my own.
