RE: Perl instabilities


Hi, I see the same.  Haven't tried to track it down, though.
When I run the perl Makefile.PL for the spamassassin 2.53 package
perl crashes in CWD.DLL

 micha> uname -a
CYGWIN_98-4.10 micha 1.3.22(0.78/3/2) 2003-03-18 09:20 i586 unknown unknown Cygwin
 micha> perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.0 built for cygwin-multi-64int

 micha> perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: prerequisite HTML::Parser 3 not found.

After a while two instances (processes) of perl crash.

(There is more Dr.Watson output I can send if it would help.)


I then close both instances (in the Windows/Dr.Watson windows) 
but still have a perl process hanging around:

I doubt the Makefile.PL is broken.  I could use it on Linux but with perl 5.6
and on VMS with perl 5.8.0 (but the produced makfile is crap there, working on it).

Any ideas?

Thanks, 
Michael

Subject: Perl instabilities


Hello from Gregg C Levine
I know this sounds cryptic, and I'll probably get zapped by the group
on this idea, but here goes:
 Is anyone seeing any peculiar responses from Windows, regarding one
of the other versions of perl that is available from the Cygwin
Mirrors?
Earlier, each time I needed to run a script which would make a few
perl calls, such as the configure scripts, I would get the infamous
message that the program <name> has caused a violation, and pressing
one of the buttons would allow it to do something. With regards to
perl, it would mention that it happened to one of three dynamic
libraries involved in the process. Truth to tell, I don't know of
these are Win32 ones that are part of the Cygwin system, or from the
Evil Empire, but that's my point. More on this subject later, if it
happens again.
