Hi,
I am getting somewhere. I used setup and installed needed executables such
as gcc. Did a force install in cpan for LWP modules and it seemed to be go
great. All tests were successful in make test. But when running make install
I got the error:
"Cannot forceunlink /usr/bin/HEAD: No such file or directory at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/File/Find.pm line 873.
make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 255
/usr/bin/make install -- NOT OK.
The Find.pm line in question is: { $wanted_callback->() }; # protect against
wild "next"
Any idea what is going wrong, or is the question better posed to a perl
forum? Any help appreciated.

That's strange. Which module is not found? Since you have
installed it, where is it? What is your @INC? You can see your
@INC with
perl -wle 'print for @INC'

Then you must install it. :-) Run setup.exe and install gcc.

perldoc cpan
To fire up the cpan shell, just type, at the cygwin shell
cpan

I found it to be quite straight forward. Please be specific and
tell where you run into problems.
>Are others having problems and how did you fix them.
We'll take one thing at a time. I've used the cpan shell a lot,
but I need some more information about where you run into
problems.

I have never used "perldoc perllocal" to see what modules I have
installed, so at this point I can't tell you what is wrong.
