Hi Jan, Thank you for your valuable inputs. I was bound to use Active State Perl, because I would need executables as output, which I could not get from cygwin. I usually get executable out of Active State's PerlApp. And IO::Tty is only the dependable module for the targeted module of "Expect". Do you know of a way to make executables from Cygwin Perl ?? Looking forward for your suggestions and help. Thanks a lot Udaya

The only way to get this working on Windows is by using the Cygwin Unix emulation libraries (and Cygwin perl).

ERROR: cannot run the configured compiler 'cl' (see conf/compilerok.log). Suggestions: 1) The complier 'cl' is not in your PATH. Add it to the PATH and try again. OR 2) The compiler isn't installed on your system. Install it. OR 3) You only have a different compiler installed (e.g. 'gcc'). Either fix the compiler config in the perl Config.pm or install a perl that was built with the right compiler (you could build perl yourself with the available compiler). Note: this is a system-administration issue, please ask your local admin for help. Thank you.

If you can guide me through the steps, or if there is a previously built module, it will be very useful for me. My project is due deadline, and I would really appreciate any help you can provide me with. Thanks Udaya
