Thus, when you try to compile modules on *your* system, using the >perl binary I built on *my* system, the paths and stuff aren't correct. IMHO you just have to edit lib/Config.pm to reflect your filesystem structure.

This simply can be changed with chown or by "take ownership" from explorer. Btw. I use the ActiveState port of perl for months now without any problem from bash. Only thing is, that you have to use the c: syntax for drive letters instead of /cygdrive/ or /c/. PerlWin32 even accepts / as separator. [...] >--Chuck Bye.
