Stephan,
I don't recall -- did you attach the output of "cygcheck -svr" at some point (if so, just point to it in the archives, no need to repost)? My guess is that this may be a textmode vs. binmode issue. Try making your home directory a binmode mount, or setting PERLIO=crlf and see if that helps with CPAN. Igor
Actually I think this advice is the wrong way around. Before running CPAN, I think you should unset PERLIO if you otherwise have it set. I set PERLIO=crlf by default because my perl scripts heavily interact with DOS programs. If I run CPAN directly I have problems. But CPAN works fine once I unset PERLIO
I run it like this:
>unset PERLIO; perl -MCAPN ....
FYI - my home directory is a binmode mount.
Regards, Jason
