The app that i am working with (Virage Video Application Server) actually makes heavy use of perl but i dont know if they are linking in native bits somewhere. i'll have to do some spelunking. if they dont have some special virage native interface pm's then i am probably ok. > Cygwin Setup now (optionally) includes perl.

Our > four unix platforms is challenging enough for me at the moment... oh duh. that's right. i installed that! and now i've installed activestate as well. great! :-(. i wish i had thought of that when i was installing the virage stuff. > Cheers, > David > (Cygwin FAQ maintainer) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > David Starks-Browning | [EMAIL PROTECTED] > EMBL Outstation -- | > The European Bioinformatics Institute | > Wellcome Trust Genome Campus | tel: +44 (1223) 494 616 > Hinxton, Cambridge, CB10 1SD, UK | fax: +44 (1223) 494 468 > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
