Besides being illegal to install actually usable software, there are some of internal programs which are quite sensitive to perl (any other perl) appearing anywhere on disk, not to mention PATH (the build system, for one). Same for cygwin revisions. I tried using other perl and more modern cygwin, and it can be made to work, but it is cumbersome and boring. And one more thing to reinstall after IT wipes your computer because you've got a new disk or they decided you need winxp instead of w2k, or something else... So I'm just trying reduce effort I put into what I'm not supposed to do at work anyway. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
