in thread From Cygwin to ActiveState

Well, I do not like Frankenstein setups. I'd prefer to keep the Cygwin and AS Perl setups mutually exclusive.

I've copied the .pm files in the AS site/lib subdir and the .dll, .dll.a and .bs files in the site/lib/auto subdir.

When I execute my script in AS, I get an error message about a missing cygwin1.dll in my PATH.

I'm so close I can almost taste it...

    Putting a copy of the cygwin dll into your AS perl bin directory would probably work.

    Or if you don't wish to have 2 copies of the dll floating around, place the one copy somewhere it will be visible from both environments. Say, windows\system32 for example.
