Re: FWD: Re: A few problems with installing perl5...


I'll ditto Chuck.  The quoted site has nothing to do with the product Cygwin
other than some packager providing it.  No one on this list except the packager
(who may not even be on this list) knows anything about the package.  The
appropriate place to ask is at one of the forums of cygwin-rpm.sourceforge.net.

Cheers,
Earnie.
