in reply to unable to install warnings.pm under Cygwin

Why did you delete the file?

I recommend reinstalling Perl through the Cygwin setup.

If all else fails, maybe you can copy the file from another Cygwin installation, or from warnings.

I still recommend installing a second Cygwin Perl on a second machine and copying the file from there. Or extracting the file from a Cygwin package. Or restoring from backup.

      Why are you trying to replace warnings.pm ? It is tightly tied to the version of Perl it is distributed with and has no life of its own.

        i know it seems weird. i developped a script using LibXML Library. the script is working very well on Cygwin. i used pp to transform the script to .exe and run it on Sun Solaris. where many colleagues have there scripts working using same libraries. under Sun, i have a problem related to the warnings.pm (that i don't use directly but one of my module may use it) here is the error am having under Sun Solaris :
