If you intend on using the GitWeb version in msysgit, you will notice some issues around CGI.pm. I would like to mention a fix to resolve this issue.

The perl included with the msysgit distro, as of 1.7.8, is broken, http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/browse_thread/thread/ba3501f1f0ed95af. The unicore folder is missing along with utf8_heavy.pl and CGI.pm. You can verify by checking for perl modules:

perl -mCGI -mEncode -mFcntl -mFile::Find -mFile::Basename -e "" You will probably encounter the following exception:

$ perl -mCGI -mEncode -mFcntl -mFile::Find -mFile::Basename -e "" Can't locate CGI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/msys /usr/lib/p erl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/msys /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /u sr/lib/perl5/site_perl .). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

If you're missing CGI.pm, you'll have to deploy the module to the msys environment: You will have to retrieve them from the 5.8.8 distro on :

http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html

File: strawberry-perl-5.8.8.3.zip

contents: bin/ lib/ site/

copy the contents of lib into msysgit/lib/perl5/5.8.8 and overwrite existing files.
