After running cygwin-setup and updating all cygwin-packages, perl no longer seems to work (or maybe a coincidence).
Executing "perl" without any argument normally let perl wait for input from stdin/keyboard. But it immediately returns to the prompt (same behavior as 'echo ""'). I can do perl perl -v perl -e 'print "Hello Perl\n"' same result for all 3 of them (equal to 'echo ""'). $ which perl /usr/bin/perl $ file `which perl` /usr/bin/perl: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows, 12 sections $ cygcheck -c perl Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status perl 5.40.2-1 OK downgraded to previous version - same result. $ cygcheck -c perl Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status perl 5.40.1-1 OK executing e.g. sed or awk return the "Usage:"-page as normal any idea? -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
