From Philip.Newton@gmx.net

Hi\, I downloaded the latest Perl snapshot and configure failed very near the start with "I can't find cat anywhere".

Apparently\, it looks in a standard set of paths (e.g. /usr/bin etc.) but does not look at $PATH.

Also\, the line _exe='' looks suspicious\, since my cat is 'D​:/djgpp/bin/cat.exe' .

Cheers\, Philip

The "standard set of paths" is rather extensive... where *is* your cat?

Also\, the line _exe='' looks suspicious\, since my cat is 'D​:/djgpp/bin/cat.exe' .

_exe is set by the cygwin hints file.

Cheers\, Philip

Duh. Can't read. Okay.

I assume this got fixed\, I'm marking the problem ticket as resolved.
