Looked up dist names on MetaCPAN but did not notice the unexpected switch from -pty to -tty (read it as I expected to see it), nor considered case significant in Cygwin package names (ugh!) - I use apt-cyg for many operations on 64 bit except upgrades - apt-cyg needs updated to make search operations case insensitive. >> The git.cygport specifies these as perl module names, which presumably >> perl.cygclass handles? > > Yes, by trying to load the module from the current Perl installation. > In other words there's no check for any particular Cygwin package being > installed there at all. -- Take care.
