- Subject: Changing HOME for PERL
Hello,
I installed Cygwin yesterday and when I run it and look at "pwd" my path
is set to: /cygdrive/h
I read the FAQ and when I type "set HOME" from a Windows CLI, it is set
to:
HOME=H:\
I am using Cygwin for PERL.
I just took a PERL course and in class Cygwin was configured for:
/usr/bin/perl
This was perfect because I could make my SheBang look like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
I would like to do that again with the Cygwin I installed myself
yesterday.
I did modify /etc/passwd.
The last line had: ...:/cygdrive/h:/bin/bash
and I changed it to: ...:/usr/bin/perl:/bin/bash
But when I open a new Cygwin session it remembers the old /cygdrive/h
Could someone help me? I don't want to have to change my SheBang
everytime I deploy a PERL script to Unix after having created it in
Cygwin on Windows.
Thank you,
Michael J. Dexter
