Re: Add requirement for SYSTEMROOT to FAQ?


I hope that one or the other occurs.  I spent free time for weeks trying
to figure out why my perl cgi scripts didn't work under cygwin/apache.

At least with a faq entry, a google for "cygwin socket error" would turn
up something useful.

-- Now that I think of it, this thread will probably also come up through
the mail list archives.  :-)
