Test 21 is for UNIX domain sockets. It seems odd that applying a BindPort would fix it. Does Cygwin support UNIX sockets at all? I haven't applied this patch because I'm not entirely certain it's the right solution to this problem. Can you try the CVS version and fix against that? http://poe.perl.org/?Where_to_Get_POE has some CVS instructions. > It installed on my laptop with the above adjustments, and runs my app as > well as it does on Solaris.

In the absence of Cygwin feedback, your guess is as good as mine. I can say that I have an ActiveState environment, and have been known to test and/or debug things under it from time to time. That said, Cygwin probably supports more POE features because it's closer to a UNIX environment. Certainly that the tests only gave you two problems says something nice about Cygwin. The tests are riddled with MSWin32 checks (but not as many Cygwin checks) to disable several features. -- Rocco Caputo - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://poe.perl.org/
