Hi,
I believe I've seen some recent postings about converting pathname
formats - check the archives at < http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/ >.
Quite some time back, I tried using the AS Perl with Cygwin but the final
straw was when I found that AS Perl didn't implement fork and exec.
I'd recommend trying the Cygwin port of Perl; it's fully compatible with
Cygwin and seems very stable. Look to < http://cygutils.netpedia.net/ > if
you want to try it.
Regards,
Doug Wyatt
