Cygwin 1.3.2-1 Problems with CR/LF in Perl

Wed Aug 22 08:33:00 GMT 2001

Go to the cygwin-apps mailing list archives and look at the last few 
days. Hopefully there is a new perl coming soon that addresses your 
problems; it should be available as a test version in the next few days. 
 Once it is, PLEASE test it, Gavin. None of "us" use text mounts...
