Re: "String too long" during cons build

[Greg Spencer]

Nope, I've never seen anything like that with cons.

Maybe one of you has the wrong command shell in your path/registry?  I
wouldn't think that would be it, since I don't think Perl uses one to do
executions, but I could be wrong.  Maybe an old version of Perl?

                    -Greg.
