I'm on an NT compatible (Windows XP) release trying to run the reg utils
but I
get an error message that IsWinNT is not defined, so they the reg utils
fail to
install. Presumably IsWinNT is to differentiate between Protected and
DOS-based versions of Windows but presumably wouldn't be defined on

Is that a new package? I thought I had installed all the perl related
cygwin packages?
Could just be my failing eyesite, though as well...
I, of course, had tried the old fashion way of downloading the win32 modules
from CPAN, and tried installing them which was when I got the "you aren't
WinNT
Tried this...some scripts ran. One that didn't wanted lanman.pm located in
Win32::lanman.
Queerly enough, doing a "i" /lanman" comes up zip even though it is in
CPAN at
/CPAN/sources/authors/id/J/JH/JHELBERG/lanman.1.0.10.0.zip.
Obviously I'm still a bit too new for this stuff, get, make and i

What features does one get with a unix perl over a perl built where
"WinNT" is
defined as true or false? Many (most? all?) of the Win32 calls are
available
in the Cygwin environment, why not compile the perl as a mixed breed
perl that
defines WinNT?
What is lost by allowing Perl to make libwin

The same problem keeps coming up in new and different
ways that keep running into. My background also has user
interface design, usability in it and I keep running into
problems as I try to use things from the perspective of
a user like my mom -- or just a windows users not famililar
with linux --
