My 5.6.1 *cygwin* perl has: $ perl5.6.1 -V:archlib archlib='/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-debug'; My ActiveState perl has > perl -V:archlib archlib='C:\Perl\lib'; >>> But this should not be rebased by cygwin as it has a different fork strategy than cygwin. So now the question is what should I do to resolve the issue I am facing? Since we use a separate Perl (Active State), your perlrbase will not work. I am stuck. :( Any suggestions?
