Re: 1.5.11: execvp bug (XP)


Yes, the perl soft link works from the command line. Here's my test case that fails.

<foo.pl>
#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Success.\n"
</foo.pl>

<Makefile>
default:
       perl foo.pl
</Makefile>

#ls -l /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx    1 isaacf   Domain U       24 Sep  7 12:44 /usr/bin/perl -> /usr/bin/perl5.8.5.exe

#gmake
perl foo.pl
gmake: execvp: perl: Permission denied
gmake: *** [default] Error 127

#perl foo.pl
Success.

You may also need to "rm /usr/bin/perl.exe" before you can "ln -s /usr/bin/perl5.8.5.exe /usr/bin/perl".

WFM, sorry.

Can you run perl from the command line?
