Re: default shell for perl(activeware)/emacs

["Earnie Boyd" <earnie_boyd at hotmail dot com>]

Hi Liz,

The problem is that the version of perl your using only expects to find 
the dos cmd shell.  You either have to find someone elses port to 
gnu-win32 or you have to get the sources and build it with gnu-win32 
yourself.
