Subject: [ruby-talk:15500] Re: require doesn't seem to search $: on Win2K

I'm running on windows 2k and require 'cgi' works fine.  I get slightly
different output from puts $:, though, with /cygdrive/ in front of each
entry.

irb(main):001:0> puts $:
/cygdrive/e/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/i386-cygwin
/cygdrive/e/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6
/cygdrive/e/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby
/cygdrive/e/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/i386-cygwin
/cygdrive/e/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6
.
nil
