I'm learning Cygwin and Perl. Perl is currently 5.8.0 under Windows 98. I have run setup today so I think everything is current.
$ perldoc CGI
results in a Windows pop which contains ...
PERL caused an invalid page fault in module FCNTL.DLL at 017f:00b931b8. Registers: EAX=00000000 CS=017f EIP=00b931b8 EFLGS=00010246 EBX=00b96000 SS=0187 ESP=0073f558 EBP=0073f560 ECX=00000000 DS=0187 ESI=00b947bc FS=3d47 EDX=00000000 ES=0187 EDI=610cff60 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 8b 11 85 d2 74 15 89 f6 39 5a 0c 74 60 8b 42 14
Yesterday I also got a 'bunch' of faults while installing DBI from CPAN, (but it *seems* to have installed OK despite several such error message boxes).
I don't know what's going on. Searching gmane.os.cygwin for "Perl crashes" shows postings which suggest that 5.8.0 has some problems with CPAN moudules (and more?).
Is there something I can do or should do to make this work better?
I use Perl 5.8.0, DBI and CPAN on Cygwin. Never had any page faults. I suggest you think that the problem lies outside of this and that perhaps your Cygwin installation is a bit faulty.
