Running WinME, cygwin 1.1.8-2, perl 5.6.1-1
The following script works fine when run with
activestate perl on the same machine. When
run under cygwin connect() returns:
"The descriptor is a file, not a socket"
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Socket;
my $proto = getprotobyname('tcp');
socket('F', PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, $proto);
my $sin = sockaddr_in(110,inet_aton('pop.netaddress.com'));
connect('F',$sin) || die $!; #<-- dies here, connect returns undef
# $!: "The descriptor is a file,
not a socket"
$stuff = <F>;
print "$stuff\n";
close F;
This is a new problem and all this used to work before
I deleted and re-added my TCP-IP -> lan adapter.
ftp, http, manual telnet to port 80's all work fine from
cygwin command line. It core dumps when I try to
use the activestate socket library with the cygwin
executable (probably not a surprise, but I thought
I'd try it anyway). I have completely removed and
reinstalled the cygwin release (including all tools
and perl). I have completely removed and reinstalled
by lan adapter. No luck.
Perl-cygwin rocks and I have come to depend on it.
ANY help is appreciated. Thanks...
