Re: perl problem with cygwin path

Nope. With a current updatedb locate found one perl.exe under /usr/bin. When I renamed this perl.exe to perly.exe and copied the version that worked from my machine and did a version check while in /usr/bin I get


./perly - v   returned 5.8.8 (original questionable perl)
./perl -v     returned 5.8.7 (perl from working box)

Everything I have checked points to just one Perl installation. So maybe the question here is where did this version come from?

That is indeed a good question, since the latest available 'perl' from kernel.org is 5.8.7-5. The full output of 'perly -v' (that's the questionable perl) may tell you something.
