[openssl-users] MinGW64 / MSYS2 and ./Configure : use of Windows style path causing failures to 'make'

The PERL definition is a bit odd for a mingw perl.  That path comes
from the perl variable $^X.

In my MSYS2/Mingw64 shell, I get this:

    Richard at OSFWin7 MINGW64 ~
    $ type perl
    perl is hashed (/usr/bin/perl)

    Richard at OSFWin7 MINGW64 ~
    $ perl -v

    This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for i686-msys-thread-multi-64int

    Richard at OSFWin7 MINGW64 ~
    $ perl -e 'print $^X,"\n";'
    perl

So the question is, what perl do you use?  From your output, I'd say
it isn't the mingw64 one...
