There is a database file 'perllocal.pod' within /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ that must be updated by the perlmake install process. It's best to not update this file at all, if you are creating perl modules that others will install. You can skip the 'update perllocal.pod' step by doing 'make pureinstall' -- this is what I did back when I was packaging perl modules as RPMS for perl5.005_62-cygwinb20-991109. I used the makerpm.pl script (slightly modified) to turn each perl module into an rpm. Of course, you need rpm.exe for this to work...which is not yet available as a standard cygwin package. You can get makerpm.pl here: http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/perl-contrib/index.html --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
