RE: what is the story of PERL on cygwin?

IIRC, perl 5.6.1 is considered "experimental". 
You have to click on the "EXP" button in cygwin's 
setup.exe list of packages to install perl. 

HTH,

 hi;

What is the suitation of perl on cygwin?

currently I was active perl, installed on c:\Perl, and I found some sort of
perl wrapper that sits in /usr/local/bin/perl (downloaded from cygwin utils
web site), which calls the windows perl.exe

windows perl is Active perl, downloaded from www.perl.org.

Is there a fully perl distro for cygwin? i.e. all build under cygwin?
Is this how everyone else uses perl under cygwin?

thanks,
Nasser
