Thanks for your reply Reini! I got hold of perlrebase from here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-02/txt00017.txt
Not sure whether this is the latest one. I have Perl separately installed at c:\Perl. I am not sure how to run this. I just copied the prelrebase script and kept it in the Cygwin's bin directory. Then I had to set the 'perl' variable in prelrebase script to 'perl=../../Perl/bin/perl$suff.exe' because my Cygwin is at c:\Cygwin. Now when I ran the script with argument '5.6.1', I get the following error: -------------------------------------------------- user@machine: /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin $ ./perlrebase.sh 5.6.1 no archlib found for ../../Perl/bin/perl5.6.1.exe -------------------------------------------------- I am not sure what this archlib is? I could not find it defined anywhere in the perlrebase script. Can you please help me with this?
