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 he

Could something along these lines be done in the postinstall for perl? (Only if the mount doesn't exist of cause...) Alternatively, maybe the CPAN module could issue a warning when it's running under cygwin using a textmode-mounted .cpan directory. Stephan -- Stephan Petersen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
