Re: Perl on Windows 2008 R2

"How do I install Strawberry and Cygwin so they work together?"

Intuitively i think you can't. Don't do it. And reconsider the problem. If you try it nevertheless, i'm sure that this will have some strong impact to your mental health ;-)

Well perhaps this is one of those newbie things but I was under the impression that for file handling I need IO modules that Cygwin provides and a C compiler that Strawberry provides. For example in one of my scripts I want to open a Windows text file, read it and write it to another file. The vendor provided IO::pty in their distribution but no other file handling modules. they provided modules like expect.pm, SSH::expect, APP::TFTP, etc. I believe I need to include IO::FILE but it doesn't work in Windows unless you have Cygwin. I tried using just Strawberry but it wouldn't download IO::FILE (not supported in Windows). Strawberry seems just fine except for this IO issue.	[reply]

Mmh, i hope very much that i don't miss something essential. I used IO::File for a long time on various Windows systems and i can't imagine that it should be not supported by Strawberry. If that is what you meant. But why don't you simply use open for your file IO? Regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply]
