Um, you aren't going to have a lot of success building libwin32 from CPAN afaik. Your options are really 1) use the cygwin perl-libwin32 package, with a "use lib '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2';" at the beginning of your code or via the PERL5LIB var (see perldoc perlrun) 2) get the source for the perl-libwin32 and the other packages necessary and try to build it (there will be a few failures) 3) wait for an updated perl-libwin32 release (should be soon) > >>4) Warning: prerequisite Win32API::Registry 0 not found. > >> Writing Makefile for Win32::TieRegistry > > > ---- > What's the warning/prereq not found message about? Just a side effect of libwin32 being assembled from several independent parts. Win32API::Registry is in fact included with libwin32. > >> > >>5) make[2]: Entering directory > >>`//ishtar/share/CPAN/build-cygwin/GSAR001/libwin32-0.191/APIFile' > >>Makefile:705: *** missing separator.

Sorry, not a cpan expert here...am bumbling > around in the jungle here...:-/ Use the "look Win32" command in the cpan shell. I've had that sometimes not work; if it doesn't, just start another shell and cd to the directory cpan is doing the build in (probably ~/.cpan/build/libwin32-0.191). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
