TAB completion in cygwin
Hi there,
I ve been using cygwin for some time now without any problems. However, recently I ve mapped a new drive on Windows and are now having problems with TAB completion for awk scripts in cygwin on this newly mapped drive (cygdrive t). I can access and run all files but cygwin doesn't do TAB completion on any of these files.
For some reason the awk scripts are not executable on cygdive t either. I already tried changing it to chmod 777 but this is not working for whatever reason.
I ve already copied all awk scripts from drive t to one of the other cygdrives and miraculously TAB completion is working on them no probs.
I found some information about fstab on the Inet saying that you could treat all files below a certain mount point as executable but I do not seem to get this to work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Cheers
Tommes

The "interactive" function tests for an install that has a user present (or at least, one in which it is reasonable for us to present
prompts and other similar types of things).
Returns true if in an interactive environment, or false otherwise.
automated_testing
Are we currently running in an automated testing environment, such as CPAN Testers.
This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} yourself, but may be improved in line
with best practices at a later date.
release_testing
Are we currently running in an release testing environment. That is, are we in the process of running in a potential highly-intensive and
high dependency bloat testing process prior to packaging a module for release.
This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING} yourself, but may be improved in line with
best practices at a later date.

The "win32" function tests if the Makefile.PL is currently running in a native Microsoft Windows Perl, such as ActivePerl or Strawberry

This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking "$^O eq 'MSWin32'" yourself, but may be improved in line with
