The adhoc workaround for perl-5.10.0-5 is to move away the Validate XS module: mv /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin/auto/Params/Validate/Validate.dll \ /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin/auto/Params/Validate/_Validate.dll Now it works, because Params::Validate has a slower pure-perl fallback. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
