I suspect that there will be a class of tests which will frequently fail unless you are: - running NT4 or W2K - on a machine that is a member of a domain - and using ntsec I know that a lot of work has happened recently to fix problems which still existed in 5.6.1, both cross-platform and CygWin specific, so you are better off with bleadperl than with the so-called stable perl.
