I wanted to run yahoo2mbox.pl and found it wouldn't work with the perl 5.6.1 I had installed, so I downloaded ActivePerl 5.8.? and tried running the script from a Windows XP prompt, but it used the cygwin perl. So, I just copied the ActivePerl over the cygwin perl (yeah, I know, not a good idea) and then it still wouldn't work because some of the lib files used by it weren't there either. I copied a few of those as well, but still to no avail. Have I just hosed my cygwin? Will downloading the updated perl help? How can I download just perl without going through the installer and selecting "keep" on every single other item?
