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.

Open the start menu, right click “All Programs” and click “Open” 5. Create a new folder in the “Programs Folder” called “MinGW” 12 Page 13 6. Paste the “MinGW Shell” shortcut inside the folder. You can now enjoy access to the MinGW Shell from the Start menu.

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/
