DBI also did not come with perl-5.10, you installed it by yourself. Check my update recipe from the announcement mail: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2012-07/msg00011.html Update recommendations from 5.10: -------------------------------------------------- Since 5.14 is not installed in parallel to 5.10, all your old 5.10 binary XS modules will need to be reinstalled for 5.14. BEFORE INSTALLATION of this 5.14 # get the list of your installed 5.10 modules $ perl -MExtUtils::Installed \ -e'print join("\n", new ExtUtils::Installed->modules)' > module.list AFTER INSTALLATION of 5.14 # install all previous modules for 5.10 and older $ cpan `cat module.list` PS: doing the cpanm dance with xargs is not recommended as it forks too much. $ perl -MExtUtils::Installed \ -e'print join("\n", new ExtUtils::Installed->modules)' | xargs cpan -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
