Hi Brad,

I have forwared this message to the main cygwin mailing list. Since I 
have no problems using autoconf and I'm not the autoconf maintainer, I 
cannot help you much here.  One note, there was no update of autoconf 
since several months and I cannot see why a package that is stable like 
autoconf and causes few bug reports should be a problem.

Maybe there is a problem with your cygwin perl installation?

Gerrit
