Subject: cygutils perl-5.6.0: symlink? mod_perl?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Disposition: inline

I work on a web-based project using Perl and Apache. We have committed
to running on Solaris, Linux, and NT4/5, and so far, we do, even with
mod_perl. We've encountered platform differences with rand, sprintf,
etc, but have been able to find portable workarounds.

We've got some new code that uses Perl's symlink, which unfortunately
is not supported (by CPAN Perl anyway, per perlport) on win32. However
I'm aware of Cygwin's symlink hack, so I'm wondering:

Does the Cygutils perl-5.6.0 support symlink? Alternatively, if anyone
knows of a Perl module that does soft links portably, I'd like to
know.

If cygutils perl-5.6.0 does symlink: has anyone run it under Apache
with mod_perl? If so, how? Is there a Cygwin build of Apache? I didn't
see one at

http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/index.html

Please reply directly to me as well as the list (I'm on the digest),
and TIA, Tom_Roche AT ncsu DOT edu
