Exactly! I ask p5p if there was a way to compile perl with using the pragma behavior as the default behavior. I was met with the usual “that’s probably a bad idea” argument. I think I will be more persistent about this with p5p, like perhaps making this an option in the perl build configuration. -- 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
