RE: Re: Changing HOME for PERL


Yes that is SolidState Perl on the C drive.

/usr/bin is in the front.

Well this is bad. Again, I'm not sure what C:\PERL\BIN\perl is but I 
suspect it's ActiveState's Perl (Yuck!) and the above indicates that 
Cygwin's /usr/bin is not in your path before C:\PERL\BIN. This is not 
good. What's your PATH look like?

(Hmmm... the "perl" vs "Perl" thing... I guess things like ls and which 
don't care about case but perhaps exec(1) does. I know that NTFS is case

insensitive but case preserving but Unix/Linux is supposed to be not 
only case preserving but case sensitive too).

This just ran the ActiveState Perl, which also supports a debugger. 
Given your PATH try "/usr/bin/perl -de 1".

He's dead. It's been 2,000 years. He's not coming back. Get over it 
already!
