Question

When entering a search string for bin/search, I get:

search.pl: Use of uninitialized value in split at d:/twiki/lib/TWiki/Search.pm line 292

However, entering an empty search string, the same error is not reported.

This is a new TWiki install by a novice installer. How can I debug this problem? Thanks.

Answer

Pilot error: Mixture of Cygwin perl, MKS (Mortice Kern Systems) toolkit perl, and ActiveState perl. Reducing three to one (just Cygwin) allowed a cleaner interpretation of include paths and executables. As always, RTFM and follow the directions closely.
