I have not done anything "out of the ordinary" beyond "cpan module " from withing a Cygwin bash shell. So it sounds like I might simply be able to rename my /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl directory (to, say, .old) and pull in any needed modules from the Cygwin distribution. I'll also move ~/.cpan out of the way, but that probably won't be necessary. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us -- 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

If you installed them into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl, then you will need to remove those modules from there (or rename the whole directory if you just need to check what else is going to break). If you've installed to some local::lib, then you can just remove the customization that lets Perl know where to find these.

You can Google how to do it, but it's mostly manual. You also need to consider how to handle dependencies that were pulled in. To avoid this in the future, only install packages using the package manager (i.e. cygwin setup), and for anything that's not in there, use the perl local::lib module to setup a dedicated location for any additional packages you need. ~ Brian -- 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

None, if you are willing and able to patch the odd ones to use system libraries instead of bundled ones, to not treat Cygwin as Win32 (because hey, there's "win" in that string) and making sure the tests actually pass, reporting such bugs upstream (preferably with a patch) and skipping the update or carrying a local patch as long as upstream is mulling over a fix. To summarize, not really any more advantages than getting any other package from the distribution instead of building it yourself.

Is there some advantage to getting the modules from the Cygwin distribution instead? To be honest, I never think of looking for a Cygwin package for a given Perl module. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us -- 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
