I used it but there are (at least) the following problems: - It doesnt use the gnuwin-Paths/mounts. So i cant use 'script /c/abc/... /d/abc/...' without problems because i would need to use 'script c:\\... d\\... ' since its a "DosPathNames"-Program. If it would be a "native" gnuwin- Program Pathnames would be no problem - When i call other scripts i have to use system("sh scriptname...") instead of system("scriptname..."). Probably because perl doesnt know about scripts and doesnt call them because its a dos-program. So i have massive problems with a set of scripts which calls other perlscripts and think its because perl isnt a gnuwin-application. Because in the gnuwin-Readmes/... often they talk about Problems with configuring/compiling perl i thought somebody has got it up and runnning.
