[Fwd: perl not working on Cygwin 1.0]


 
I'm running Cygwin 1.0 on Windows NT 4.0 SP6.

When I run the command:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

I get some nasty errors. See the attached file.

Also, perl -de 0 does not work.  It's supposed to run an interactive shell.  Instead it reports:

Can't locate D:\PROGRA~1\ACTIVE~1\PerlDB.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /contrib/lib
/perl5/5.00503/cygwin /contrib/lib/perl5/5.00503 /contrib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/cygwin /contrib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

Any idea what's wrong or how to fix it?

Thanks,
Steve Kelem
 
 

We have to reconfigure CPAN.pm due to following uninitialized parameters:

cpan_home, keep_source_where, build_dir, build_cache, scan_cache, index_expire, gzip, tar, unzip, make, pager, makepl_arg, make_arg, make_install_arg, urllist, inhibit_startup_message, ftp_proxy, http_proxy, no_proxy, prerequisites_policy

/contrib/lib/perl5/5.00503/CPAN/Config.pm initialized.


CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about
100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.
Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources
found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you
want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.

If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer 'no' to this
question and I'll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this
dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)

Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes] yes


The following questions are intended to help you with the
configuration. The CPAN module needs a directory of its own to cache
important index files and maybe keep a temporary mirror of CPAN files.
This may be a site-wide directory or a personal directory.



First of all, I'd like to create this directory. Where?

CPAN build and cache directory? [/home/Kelem/.cpan] /home/Kelem/.cpan


If you want, I can keep the source files after a build in the cpan
home directory. If you choose so then future builds will take the
files from there. If you don't want to keep them, answer 0 to the
next question.



How big should the disk cache be for keeping the build directories
with all the intermediate files?

Cache size for build directory (in MB)? [10] 10


By default, each time the CPAN module is started, cache scanning
is performed to keep the cache size in sync. To prevent from this,
disable the cache scanning with 'never'.

Perform cache scanning (atstart or never)? [atstart] atstart


The CPAN module can detect when a module that which you are trying to
build depends on prerequisites. If this happens, it can build the
prerequisites for you automatically ('follow'), ask you for
confirmation ('ask'), or just ignore them ('ignore'). Please set your
policy to one of the three values.

Policy on building prerequisites (follow, ask or ignore)? [follow] follow


The CPAN module will need a few external programs to work
properly. Please correct me, if I guess the wrong path for a program.
Don't panic if you do not have some of them, just press ENTER for
those.

Where is your gzip program? [/bin/gzip] /bin/gzip
Where is your tar program? [/bin/tar] /bin/tar
Where is your unzip program? [/contrib/bin/unzip] /contrib/bin/unzip
Where is your make program? [/bin/make] /bin/make
Warning: lynx not found in PATH
Where is your lynx program? [] 
Warning: ncftpget not found in PATH
Where is your ncftpget program? [] 
Warning: ncftp not found in PATH
Where is your ncftp program? [] 
Where is your ftp program? [/contrib/bin/ftp] /contrib/bin/ftp
What is your favorite pager program? [less] less
What is your favorite shell? [/bin/sh] /bin/sh


Every Makefile.PL is run by perl in a separate process. Likewise we
run 'make' and 'make install' in processes. If you have any parameters
(e.g. PREFIX, INSTALLPRIVLIB, UNINST or the like) you want to pass to
the calls, please specify them here.

If you don't understand this question, just press ENTER.

Parameters for the 'perl Makefile.PL' command? [] 
Parameters for the 'make' command? [] 
Parameters for the 'make install' command? [] 


Sometimes you may wish to leave the processes run by CPAN alone
without caring about them. As sometimes the Makefile.PL contains
question you're expected to answer, you can set a timer that will
kill a 'perl Makefile.PL' process after the specified time in seconds.

If you set this value to 0, these processes will wait forever. This is
the default and recommended setting.

Timeout for inactivity during Makefile.PL? [0] 0


If you're accessing the net via proxies, you can specify them in the
CPAN configuration or via environment variables. The variable in
the $CPAN::Config takes precedence.

Your ftp_proxy?  
Your http_proxy?  
Your no_proxy?  
You have no /home/Kelem/.cpan/sources/MIRRORED.BY
  I'm trying to fetch one

  Please, install Net::FTP as soon as possible. CPAN.pm installs it for you
  if you just type
      install Bundle::libnet
