I'm no perl geek, but I need to run a few perl scripts on my machine. I
first tried Activestate's perl binaries. They work well and the scripts
I need also install and run well - but this perl won't run in a bash,
due to Win/Unix path incompatibilities, as I guess.
Next tried the cygwin perl ports at http://cygutils.netpedia.net/. I
tried both the statically linked and the dynamically linked versions
(binary version 1.4). which perl shows that I pick up the correct binary
(not the Activestate stuff).
When I try to install the modules I need (XML-Parser-2.26, XML-DOM-1.24,
DelimMatch-1.04, dtdparse-2.0a2) with tar -xzf..., perl Makefile.PL,
make, make install, perl tells me that I do not have the permission to
install to perl5/5.00503/cygwin32, although the modules end up
right there. When creating
the makefile for XML-DOM it complains that XML-Parser-2.23 is not
installed. XML-DOM still makes and installs fine except for the same
permission complaint.
Finally, one of the dtdparse scripts runs fine, the other stops with the
following complaint:
Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/cygwin32/auto/IO/IO.dll' for
module IO:

(This is the output with the dynamically linked version. The statically
linked version gives up much sooner, complaining it can't load
XML-Parser)
Is there any way to get perl up and running with CygWin?
Thanks
Markus
