I actually see the 'x' both for your user and for the unknown group mkgroup-l-d. There are ACL settings indicated by the '+' for the file however, and I suppose it's possible that those could potentially affect your access to perl.exe. You can examine the ACL by running getfacl on perl.exe or by using the Security tab on the file properties dialog for that file. I'm also concerned about the date stamp on that perl.exe. My Cygwin installation is a little stale, but my perl.exe is still dated at July 3, 2008, while yours is almost a year older. This makes me suspicious of your Cygwin installation as a whole. In any case, submitting the cygcheck output as documented in the problem reporting guidelines will likely clear up the problem quicker than me or anyone else guessing about the permissions and other attributes of your files. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
