[Rd] perl.exe has stopped working: Fixed.

[Spencer Graves]

        To complete this thread for anyone encountering a similar 
problem, the fix I said I'd try (below) worked.  Specifically, I 
installed the latest Strawberry Perl, modified the path so the first 
reference points to the new Perl, and R CMD build, check, INSTALL, and 
"INSTALL -build" all seemed to work properly.  Of course, there is 
always a chance of some deeply hidden problem, but the obvious first 
tests seemed to function exactly as I have come to expect.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer Graves
