Win32 error 998 translates (I think) to:
 "Invalid access to memory location."

I found this with the command:
> net helpmsg 998

Although I'm the maintainer of the cygwin build of curl, I have never
used the perl module, and thus probably can't answer your question very
well without some help or suggestions from the curl::easy community...

Anyone? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?

Thanks,

I've became even more interested in the PERL binding curl::easy so I've
tried to install it in cygwin :

My Software specs are: Win2000 Professional, with cygwin : perl, v5.6.1
built for cygwin-multi and curl 7.9.3 (i686-pc-cygwin) libcurl 7.9.3
(OpenSSL 0.9.6c)

I've tried to install the Curl-easy-1.20 from the tarball and
everything
seemed ok..then I've tried to run the script that is the basic example
and
Iget this error:

Can't load
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/auto/Curl/easy/easy.dll'
 for module Curl::easy: dlopen: Win32 error 998
 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 206
 at ./CurlTest.pl line 6
Compilation failed in require at ./CurlTest.pl line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./CurlTest.pl line 6.
Curl::easy -- accessing libcurl from perl

Line 6 is only: use Curl::easy;

Is this some kind of known problem/incompatiblity with perl/cygwin?
