Hi, A PERL QUESTION ???
---------------------
I was wondering if anybody has noticed a problem with the CPAN 'shell'.
With all other 'Net' applications shut down, it seems to behave quite well,
except when running the 'readme' routine.
It first says it's running the 'readme' routine, then goes quiet for a
few minutes, then the hard drive sounds like it's having a war with
something for 30 seconds, then finally displays a 1Kb readme in the 'less'
pager. On quitting the pager, it again makes a heck of a din for a while,
disconnecting from the net in the process, and maybe losing keyboard
functionality altogether.
I presume this is a 'Cygwin' related problem? (or perhaps set-up?). My
system info is as follows:-
