Windows 98 is known to have problems with Cygwin Perl.

Yes, you may try to use perl-5.8.1 which was reported to behave
better.  That means only one error where you get several with 5.8.0.
There is also a debugging version of perl-5.8.1 available if you're
interested in tracking down what goes wrong:
ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/G/GE/GERRIT/
There are two tarballs needed for debugging, the
perl_debug-5.8.1-2-srctree.tar.bz2 and the binaries
perl_debug-5.8.1-2.tar.bz2, both extracted from the Cygwin root.


I've no Win98 since about three years now and I feel much better!

Gerrit
