[Fwd: Bug: Perl:IsWinNT undefined & RFE, only use "/" in reg values, not names..?]

Tried this...some scripts ran.  One that didn't wanted lanman.pm located in
Win32::lanman. 

Queerly enough, doing a "i" /lanman" comes up zip even though it is in 
CPAN at
/CPAN/sources/authors/id/J/JH/JHELBERG/lanman.1.0.10.0.zip.

Obviously I'm still a bit too new for this stuff, get, make and install 
don't work and
say it isn't found.  I can see the module if I lookup by author, but  
doesn't
seem to like installing it via pathname or substituting backslashes or 
colons...even got
dumped out of cpan a few times:

Scanning cache /share/CPAN/build-win for sizes
C:\bin\perl.exe (1892): *** unable to remap 
C:\lib\perl5\5.8.2\cygwin-thread-mul
ti-64int\auto\Cwd\Cwd.dll to same address as parent(0xC00000) != 0x1110000
      8 [main] perl 1436 sync_with_child: child 1892(0x6C0) died before 
initiali
zation with status code 0x1
  14290 [main] perl 1436 sync_with_child: *** child state child loading dlls

How would one normally go about installing lanman.pm without manually 
unpacking
the zip and putting it someplace (which I'm just randomly guessing 
wouldn't work for
some other reason -- like the lanman dll not being installed in the 
right place.

Do all the win32 libraries have to have a special port to work on cygwin 
even though
cygwin was supposed to aid in allowing posix type apps (like perl) to 
run under
win either from the bash or cjmd.exe shell?

Definitely the win32 lib is a step in the right direction...but why does 
cygwin need
a special version?


 Thanks for the help...

    In the marketplace of "Real goods", capitalism is limited by safety
    regulations, consumer protection laws, and product liability.  In
    the computer industry, what protects the consumer?
