Expect 1.21 not working on Windows Vista SP1 with Cygwin Perl 5.10
I can install Expect successfully on Windows Vista. But running other processes will fail after creating an Expect instance.
My program is as simple as:
use Expect;
{
my $exp = new Expect; # if I comment out this line, program runs fine.
system("ls");
}
"ls" will fail, windows pop up message saying "ls.exe has stopped
working". Actually if I try some other executable, it will crash the same
way. I tried Windows Vista 32bit and Windows Vista 64bit, both fail the
same way.
I have a whole suite of perl scripts built around Expect working very well on WindowsXP, now they all stopped working on Windows Vista. Please Help!!!
