I installed Perl along with Cygwin. Here's what I'm seeing with chomp. I'm not familiar enough with Perl on Windows to know what's expected from chomp, or whether the string in question should have a CR in the first place. DB<1> $foo = "a\r\n" DB<2> chomp $foo DB<3> print length $foo 2 DB<4> print ord(substr $foo, 0, 1) 97 DB<5> print ord(substr $foo, 1, 1) 13 $/ is set to a newline. > > Also, I see a few tests are skipped because they say they need > > Test::Harness version 1.20 or 1.23.

Sorry, I meant 2.26 (the references to 1.20 and 1.23 above are correct). Turns out I have 1.1604 installed. 2.26 doesn't seem to be installing correctly: ....
