I could use it on Linux but with perl 5.6 and on VMS with perl 5.8.0 (but the produced makfile is crap there, working on it). Any ideas? Thanks, Michael From: "Gregg C Levine" To: Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2003 01:52:07 -0400 Subject: Perl instabilities Hello from Gregg C Levine I know this sounds cryptic, and I'll probably get zapped by the group on this idea, but here goes: Is anyone seeing any peculiar responses from Windows, regarding one of the other versions of perl that is available from the Cygwin Mirrors? Earlier, each time I needed to run a script which would make a few perl calls, such as the configure scripts, I would get the infamous message that the program has caused a violation, and pressing one of the buttons would allow it to do something. With regards to perl, it would mention that it happened to one of three dynamic libraries involved in the process. Truth to tell, I don't know of these are Win32 ones that are part of the Cygwin system, or from the Evil Empire, but that's my point. More on this subject later, if it happens again. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon at worldnet dot att dot net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
