perl test fails

Not sure if this is the right list for my question. cygwin 1.3.22-1 running under NT4. I have a perl script that runs an executable, so before actually running it, the code checks that the file exists and is executable, but the test fails under cygwin. Under linux and OSF1 it's fine. I cut ou

Various shell problems

1. I downloaded the new version of base-files (2.0-2) today. I note that the new config files now go into the /etc/defaults directory, which is a good idea! Although it does have one disadvantage - if there are problems in the new files, many existing users won't see them. Unfortunately, I did
