After upgrading from cygwin 1.3.20 to cygwin 1.3.22, the new version of Perl (5.8.0) appears to require 2 ENTER keys to be hit for any command to be acted on by the Perl debugger. The previous version of Perl (5.7.x) on cygwin 1.3.20 did not have this problem.

I had to hit the ENTER key a second time for the debugger command to be acted on. I'm running W2K. I've rebooted since installing 1.3.22, and the problem still occurs. Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem? Regards, Gavin Bowlby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
