Yes, I'm sure you're right. But realistically, I'm not going to go to the work of creating a separate lftp-examples package. In fact I'm ignoring the problem, which is probably common. If I did anything about it, I'd probably manually suppress the dependency on Perl, and ignore the case of someone who wanted to run the sample scripts and didn't have Perl... a very small set. -- 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
