(crossposted to the cygwin32 mailing list also)
I'm trying to build/install Perl 5.005_02 for Cygwin32 B20.1
(NT4.0/SP4), and it fails while installing the HTML-pod pages.
After some investigation in the installperl script, I found that the
Cwd::getcwd() (= get pathname of current working directory) was
responsible :
Use ::Cwd;
print getcwd();
=>
readdir(./..): No such file or directory at yo.pl line 2
If I try to use using cwd() (= same as getcwd but is
implemented using the most natural and safe form for the current
architecture) instead of getcwd();
Use ::Cwd;
print cwd();
=>
/d/devel/gnuwin32/root/tmp/perl5.005_02
which seems OK, although /d/devel/gnuwin32/root is mounted to /, hence
it should better returns /tmp/perl5.005_02.
The problem is, getcwd() seems to be used in many other files in the
distribution, therefore I'd like to fix/understand it in a more general
way before starting to replace all instance of getcwd() with cwd().
Thanks a lot.
