ActiveState Perl and Cygwin How To
Hello,
I have been using Cygwin for quite some time now on Windows XP. I use
Perl extensively and the scripts I use/create are fairly portable.
I want to use ActiveState Perl as I can install many modules from CPAN
that give me trouble in Cygwin using cpan install ...
The problem is that AS Perl cannot find the Perl script I invoke on
the command line as the script's PATH that Cygwin reports to AS Perl
is a unix one i.e. /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/.../bin whereas AS Perl
requires it in C:\cygwin\home\...\bin\. The Perl script is in PATH.
This happens only with AS Perl (duh) as it requires backslash
delimited path. I have searched somewhat on the web regarding this but
haven't found anything.
There are bash scripts that act in between and convert unix path to
windows before invoking AS Perl but you still have to give it complete
script path like
$ bash_convert.sh /home/.../bin/perlscript.pl -h
this will give C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:\cygwin\home\...\bin\perlscript.pl -h
But what I want is that it should work directly like perlscr{TAB}
{ENTER} and voilà working :)
Any Ideas?

The problem is that ActivePerl is a Windows program, and as such cannot
use POSIX paths (/cygdrive/c/...) as produced by Cygwin. It has nothing
to do with the slashes since Windows programs can use paths with either
kind, even a mix, so long as they are Windows paths (C:\Program Files\...).
You have two options available to you:
1) Use the cygpath program to convert the paths as needed so that you
can send the paths to your scripts. e.g.)
$ perl $(cygpath -w /path/to/myscript.pl)
2) Put your files into PATH and tell perl to find them for itself using
the -S option. e.g.)
$ perl -S myscript.pl
With either option you can wrap the action you choose with another
script or shell alias to hide what is actually going on so that you can
get what you want when interacting with the shell. For instance, say
you're going to take option 2, then you can do the following:
$ alias myscript.pl=perl -S myscript.pl
Then you can run it the way you wanted with tab completion.

I don't know how they are instructing you to do things but installing a base 1.5 installation via setup-legacy.exe and then using the regular setup.exe to install their stuff would probably work. If it doesn't work then *ask them* what to do.

Re: poll() on fifo read descriptor with non-zero timeout == segfault
Hi again, More information on this issue: My test case runs correctly and crash-free in Linux. This leads me to believe this is a bug in Cygwin's poll(). Even worse, after having adapted the test case to use select() instead of poll(), it appears that select() has the same bug. I've been trying to get Bernstein's 'daemontools' package to work in Cygwin, and it uses poll() to wait on a fifo's non-blocking-read descriptor in at least one program (in 'supervise', in case anyone is interested). Somehow, though, that code does not segfault. Instead, it effectively blocks forever (until killed), as all other processes are strangely prevented from writing to the fifo by device busy errors. Anyway, it's been quite an interesting puzzle, but I'm going to set it aside for now. Hopefully my bug report will be of some use to someone. -SM -- -- 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
RE: Changing .ini file searched for by setup-legacy.exe
I'm trying to use http://download.rockbox.org/cygwin/. As for the latest 1.5, I thought based on what Greg said earlier that the latest 1.5 was the setup-legacy he linked to? I'm now trying to get around this by manually extracting the packages from the mirror. Call it a patchwork quilt approach but if it works I won't complain as I don't know any other way to do it. download.rockbox.org is providing a version of setup.ini but this file has nothing to do with the Cygwin project. I don't know how they are instructing you to do things but installing a base 1.5 installation via setup-legacy.exe and then using the regular setup.exe to install their stuff would probably work. If it doesn't work then *ask them* what to do. This is cygwin.com not rockbox.org. cgf Hi. I appreciate your time responding to my query. Although I didn't get to your message beforehand, I did actually try your suggestion as a last resort and it worked fine. Also, I think deleting all the setup files and logs may also have had something to do with it. So all's well. Apologies for any offence caused. I thought the setup.ini was a cygwin issue, I stand corrected. Thanks as always for your time and support. At least I learnt something, which for me is the main thing.
