You can send it to the list or to me. rsync is cygwin, activestate perl is not, so you have to use path conversions, which are unnatural to both. Easiest would be to use cygwin perl and get accustomed to POSIX paths and permissions. PS: rsync does incremental backups natively. I don't see the apparent need for a perl driver. But even PAUSE uses a perl driver to rsync for performance reasons with huge mirroring costs. -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/ -- 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
