I actually use cygwin, activestate and strawberry perl on this machine. I have zsh functions to switch between them (set up PATH, aliases, etc..) There are different issues with all three of them, for example DBD::ADO does not work on Cygwin perl, which I needed for a recent project. I'd like to get it to work on Cygwin, but I'm not sure where to start. I asked about this issue on the list: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2011-02/msg00240.html -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
