There exist neither ExtUtils::MM_Cygwin::catfile() or ExtUtils::MM_Cygwin::perl_script(). They're both inherited from somewhere, and are called within ExtUtils::MM_Cygwin::manifypods(). ExtUtils::MM_Cygwin::cflags() does exist, and it calls ExtUtils::MM_Unix::cflags(). My assumption (which may very well be invalid) is that anything that breaks ExtUtils::MM_Unix should be caught by the ExtUtils::MM_Unix test. The ExtUtils::MM_Cygwin test is predicated upon the assumption that the bits in ExtUtils::MM_Unix Just Work. As such, I considered them fair game to be replaced with decaf crystals. I may very well be wrong on this, but I think it's testing the essentials. -- c
