Trying to install libwww-perl on cygwin, but seem to be having a problem with the symlink make install wants to create from /usr/bin/HEAD to /usr/bin/lwp-request. (Output below may be an aritifact of a previous failed make install.) I suspect the problem may be related to the fact that cygwin has a /usr/bin/head (like the tail program), which may be gettting confused with /usr/bin/HEAD due to Windows 2000 / Cygwin filename case-sensitivity issues?
