Which Perl? I am getting 100% success with bleadperl (5.7.2/5.8.0 to be), but
I know that others are still getting some nagging failures. I suspect that
there will be a class of tests which will frequently fail unless you are:
- running NT4 or W2K
- on a machine that is a member of a domain
- and using ntsec
I know that a lot of work has happened recently to fix problems which still
existed in 5.6.1, both cross-platform and CygWin specific, so you are better
off with bleadperl than with the so-called stable perl.
