The cygwin version of Perl returns cygwin from $^O. As far as I can tell, Cygwin's Perl behave exactly the same way as Unix Perl's do (Win32 modules don't seem to work well under CygWin). I haven't tried Shell.pm under Cygwin, but I can try stuff out and see how it behaves, versus the Win2k (ActiveState) version (I have both on the same machine). -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You are confused; but this is your normal state. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
