Subject: | Locking issue on Windows |
The following message appears if trying to start a CPAN shell while
another is already running:
C:>cpan
CPAN.pm panic: Found invalid lockfile 'C:\strawberry\cpan\.lock', please
remove.
Cannot proceed.
This is different from Unix behaviour, where the user may bypass the
locking.
Also the error message is misleading --- I don't think that there's a
problem with the lockfile here.
(This is on a Windows XP system running Strawberry Perl 5.12.3.0)
