Trying to install libwww-perl on cygwin, but seem to be having a problem with the
symlink make install wants to create from /usr/bin/HEAD to /usr/bin/lwp-request.
(Output below may be an aritifact of a previous failed make install.) I suspect the
problem may be related to the fact that cygwin has a /usr/bin/head (like the tail
program), which may be gettting confused with /usr/bin/HEAD due to Windows 2000 /
Cygwin filename case-sensitivity issues?
DCarter@DCARTER ~/.cpan/build/libwww-perl-5.53
$ make install
/usr/bin/perl -e 'use Config; chdir q{blib/script}; foreach (qw(GET HEAD POST))
{' \
-e 'unlink "$_";' \
-e 'system("$Config{\"lns\"} lwp-request $_") && die; }'
Cannot forceunlink /usr/bin/HEAD: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.

I can't seem to get rid of this file (or is it files)??
Any ideas/suggestions?
