How to install perl 5.10 from MinGW installation manager?

When I try to build openssl on windows with msys.bat, ./configure mingw shared reports an error.

Perl v5.10.0 required--this is only v5.8.8, stopped at ./configure line 12.

The MinGW Installation Manager lists 5.8.8 as a repository version. enter image description here

How can I get a more recent version of perl? I already installed strawberry perl, but I don't know if it's possible to connect it to msys.

There are a couple of things you could try:

Perl-MinGW project, which seems to be an update of perl for MinGW: https://sourceforge.net/projects/perl-mingw/?source=navbar

Or try to use MSYS2, which already uses a newer version of perl: https://www.msys2.org/
