Re^12: search and replace strings in different files in a directory

/bin/sh: gcc-4: Kommando nicht gefunden.

This means you should install the gcc cygwin package. But unless you really, really need a recent version of File::Spec, don't upgrade File::Spec. It comes with the Perl core distribution and there rarely is a need to upgrade it. I haven't read the previous replies you already got, so there might be a reason to actually upgrade the module, but unless there is a pressing need to do so, I wouldn't.

Dear Corion,

Thanks for the hint, I will see to upgrading Cygwin as you pointed out.

I forgot to mention that my question was related to an error message I got from the shell, i.e.

File::Spec version 3.4 required--this is only version 3.33 at /usr/lib
+/perl5/site_perl/5.14/Path/Tiny.pm line 12.

So I thought I'd just upgrade the module as the prompt said, but then things got messy (cf. previous post). Or is there another error I failed to spot?

Thanks a mil in advance for your help

C.

Ah, yes, if another module seems to want a more recent version of File::Spec, then upgrading File::Spec is likely the path of least resistance.
