OK.

Sheesh. How do you define not continue? My mind reading skills are not
that good. Do you get an error message or does if just return to the
command line?
I run the following settings:
set PERL_BADLANG=0
set PERLLIB_PREFIX=f:/perllib/lib;d:/perllib/lib
set PERL_SH_DIR=d:/emx/bin
SET .pl=D:\EMX\BIN\PERL
This points perl to emx's sh.exe, if it wants it. Didn't the installer
set this up for you?
FWIW, I'm running a oldish version because I've been busy with other
things:
[j:\tmp]perl -V
Summary of my perl5 (5.0 patchlevel 5 subversion 53) configuration:
>Do I need SH or some other unix type shell?
Reading between the lines of your statements, it would appear so as would
reading the README:
To start external programs with complicated command lines (like with pipes
in between, and/or quoting of arguments), Perl uses an external shell.
With EMX port such shell should be named , and located either in
the wired-in-during-compile locations (usually F), or in
configurable location (see L<"PERL_SH_DIR">).
>The full error message "process terminated by SIGPIPE".
Using what command and what options?

IMNSHO, Peter may have made this a larger project than it needs to be.
However, I can't say for sure because he has not really revealed much of
the details. I do know he has spent a lot of time getting synchronizing
the clock, but then I know time synchronization is important to him on any
system.

MajorDomo is very capable. The downside is if you build it, you get to
maintain it.
BTW, what sort of feed back have you gotten on the issues you raised for
Weasel and MajorMajor?
