PERL problem (was Fw: cvsmerge script)


This is probably off-list :-]

I am running perl 5.6.0, on cygwin 1.1.5-4.
==
$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.6.0 built for cygwin
==

There is a script I use on un*x that does in place edits - and it fails
badly on for me on cygwin. It ends up with a deleted file. I'm not sure if
this is a cygwin filesystem issue (can't delete a in-use file) or a perl
issue...

I'm a) interested if anyone knows if the -i option referenced in the copied
mail below should work, or if I'm just telling everyone what they know
already :-]

Should this be a new problem, I don't expect it looked at just-for-me! If
and when I get time I'll dig into it, and if anyone does want to look at it
I'll happy send straces etc.

Rob
