Hi Andrew, It seems my Cygwin has attached itself to the PERL on my C drive and not the cygwin Perl. How do I change that? Also debugger seemed to work too.

This is odd. You do know that Unix, thus Cygwin, implements a case sensitive file system (in most cases) and that Perl.exe is not the same as perl.exe. I've never seen a Perl.exe in Cygwin and alas I have no more Windows machines at home to test on. Given the above I do see an "x" - actually two of them - one for owner and one for group. You are the owner (dextem) so you have execute permissions. (BTW: the mkgroup thing is trying to tell you to run mkgroup > /etc/group). Aside from reporting your particulars as described in http://cygwin.com/problems.html, it would be interesting to show the output of "which perl" and try a "perl -de 1" to start up Perl in it's debugger from the command line. If that works then the shebang line should work. If the shebang line is not working then I would thing "perl -de 1" would also not work and may output enlightening stuff. -- Andrew DeFaria <http://defaria.com> Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains. I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstains all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
