Again, I'm not sure what C:\PERL\BIN\perl is but I suspect it's ActiveState's Perl (Yuck!) and the above indicates that Cygwin's /usr/bin is not in your path before C:\PERL\BIN. This is not good. What's your PATH look like? (Hmmm... the "perl" vs "Perl" thing... I guess things like ls and which don't care about case but perhaps exec(1) does. I know that NTFS is case insensitive but case preserving but Unix/Linux is supposed to be not only case preserving but case sensitive too). > dextem@USENDEXTEML1C /usr/bin > $ perl -de 1 > > Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.28 > Editor support available. > > Enter h or `h h' for help, or `perldoc perldebug' for more help. > > main::(-e:1): 1 > DB<1> q This just ran the ActiveState Perl, which also supports a debugger. Given your PATH try "/usr/bin/perl -de 1". -- Andrew DeFaria He's dead. It's been 2,000 years. He's not coming back.
